Portobello Road

Streamlined interiors and a sunny roof terrace. This four-bedroom maisonette for sale sits at the heart of Notting Hill.

Few settings carry the pull of Portobello Road. This four-bedroom maisonette sits right on it, yet inside, the thrum of the market falls away. It’s replaced by a pared-back scheme that invites calm across two floors – restrained design, bright walls and light that pours in from skylights above.

Past the private entrance, the first floor is dedicated to a sizable reception room. One side centres around a fireplace and large sash window; the other serves as a streamlined dining space. There’s an easy flow from here to the kitchen, where clean-lined cabinetry lines the rear wall. Plenty of workspace, twin skylights and Miele appliances make this a culinary space that’s ideal for family meals or entertaining a crowd.  From this level, a small patio features stairs that ascend to the home’s standout space. A private roof terrace – screened by glass balustrades – offers room to dine, lounge and cook.

Also on the lower floor, the principal bedroom is restful and relaxing, with a marble feature fireplace, fitted wardrobes and en suite shower room. Three further bedrooms are arranged upstairs, each kept deliberately simple – soft neutral tones, generous storage and natural light. A family bathroom, finished in warm stone tiling with a walk-in shower, completes the picture.
