Ladbroke Grove

A calming city setting, every room in this two-bedroom apartment for sale overlooks a private courtyard.

Minimalism guides the design at Ladbroke Grove. With its neutral tones, pared-back finishes and a footprint that revolves around outside space, this apartment is set to soothe. Found on the ground floor of a traditional Notting Hill townhouse, there’s a timelessness inherent in the details – and a warmth that emanates through.

At its core, the reception room gazes over a paved courtyard. Floor-to-ceiling French doors provide instant access and a constant stream of natural light, accentuating the proportions and openness of the space. There’s a provincial feel, with high sloped ceilings and painted beams.

Just beyond, the living area flows seamlessly into a classic-meets-contemporary kitchen – all shaker style cabinetry, brassware and wooden floorboards, plus a glass roof that blurs inside and out. Throw open the French doors that connect with the courtyard – perfect for al fresco dining in the warmer months.

The home’s Victorian heritage becomes apparent in the well-proportioned principal suite that retains its high ceilings, cornicing and original chimney breast. Once again, light from the courtyard pours in through a large sash window, illuminating ample built-in storage and an en suite bathroom. The second bedroom has a cosy feel, with the same exposed beams found in the reception room and a built-in desk area. Between both bedrooms you’ll find a family bathroom, complete with a bathtub and grey panelling.
