Ladbroke Square

On prestigious Ladbroke Square, this three-bedroom duplex for sale comes with access to one of the most sought-after communal gardens in Notting Hill.

Overlooking leafy Ladbroke Square Gardens, a seven-acre green space exclusive to residents, this impressive duplex apartment appeals inside and out. Found on the first and second floors of a well-maintained Victorian townhouse, the interiors are just as immaculate, with an incredible sense of volume and natural light.

Lofty 3.8-metre-high ceilings emphasise the generous period proportions of the double reception room, which features French doors onto a cast-iron balcony that capitalises on the treetop views. Divided between a cosier reading and TV room and a showstopping entertaining area, Versailles parquet flooring, white walls and original cornicing create an understated yet elegant backdrop. Offering a contemporary contrast, a statement staircase with glass balustrading winds its way up to the bedrooms.

On the other side of the entrance hall, the split-level kitchen and dining room enjoys another inviting outlook from its southeast-facing balcony. Black and white tones and streamlined cabinetry lend a minimalistic feel, complete with quartz worktops, integrated Miele appliances and a wine fridge and bar. Considered finishes, like the leather banquette seating, elevate the setting.

All three bedrooms are found on the second floor. The principal bedroom sets the tone for the rest, with wooden floors and understated design. For functionality, there’s a generous walk-in wardrobe that leads into the en suite bathroom, wrapped in grey tiles. A guest suite also comes with ample storage – note the concealed drinks station – and an en suite with a bathtub. Its best feature, though, is the large suntrap terrace. When you want to stretch your legs, Grade II listed Ladbroke Square Gardens awaits outside. Lined with mature trees, the residents’ only green space features a series of walkways, a tennis court and a children’s play area.
