Portobello Road

On Notting Hill’s most famed market street, this spacious two-bedroom duplex apartment has been crafted with soothing colours, an abundance of natural light and two private terraces.

Positioned in the vibrant heart of Portobello Road, this two-bedroom duplex apartment is a calming and contemporary sanctum. Expect a minimalist palette of materials with stylish interludes of colour, immaculately-finished joinery and large interior and exterior spaces that are tailor-made for entertaining.

Head up to the first floor where an open-plan kitchen, dining and reception room makes an uplifting first impression. The split-level plan and array of skylights and windows affords a bright and spacious feel, with smart wood floors and whitewashed walls spanning the entire setting. The living area features full-height bookshelves, cast-iron radiators and plenty of space for soft furnishings. Set adjacent, there’s a versatile area currently configured as a home office, complete with an integrated bar and additional storage.

Up a set of steps, the kitchen has a welcoming character with modish details. At its centre, an island has been artfully crafted with mahogany-toned tiling, while the surrounding cabinets are topped with smooth white marble. A wooden table is complemented by banquette seating, making for a relaxed dining setting. Double doors open onto the first of two private terraces, which has been finished with smart wooden decking, an array of box planting and built-in seating.

The home’s tranquil character ensues in the bedrooms upstairs, introduced by a staircase with red-edged carpet runners. With its muted teal colourway, warm wood floors and bespoke joinery, the principal bedroom is as sophisticated as it is stylish. A pair of large sash windows are finished with smart draped curtains, while shelving is neatly engineered either side of the bed. Its en suite bathroom is a soothing affair, with pale mosaic tiling that wraps around a dual vanity and bathtub. There’s direct access to the second terrace through French windows — a quiet suntrap to make the most of London’s warmer months. The guest bedroom is pretty in pink, with built-in storage and a floating dressing table. It’s served by a contemporary bathroom, featuring a rainfall shower and multi tonal tiles.
