Portobello Road

Vaulted proportions, swathes of natural light and minimalist design, this two-bedroom apartment for sale is a contemporary sanctum – overlooking Notting Hill’s most colourful market street.

Facing the Electric Cinema, first opened in 1911 with its iconic blue façade, this two-bedroom apartment is perfectly positioned to soak up the atmosphere of Portobello Road. Spread across the upper two floors of a classic Notting Hill townhouse, the home offers a calmer counterpoint to the buzz below: expect a neutral interior palette, abundant sunlight and streamlined, voluminous architecture.

Capitalising on its elevated position, the open-plan kitchen, dining and reception room occupies the fourth floor. Windows are integrated into the vaulted ceiling on either side, illuminating whitewashed walls and pale wood floors. The modern kitchen is finished with glossy stone worktops, while the generous footprint accommodates separate breakfast and dining areas, creating a versatile setting for entertaining. Three metallic pendant lights add a sculptural note above the dining table.

Downstairs, minimalism ensues in the principal bedroom. Sisal carpets and pale walls set the scene for a row of integrated wardrobes, while the en suite bathroom is pared-back and contemporary, with sleek metro tiling and a bathtub. Currently imagined as a serene office, the guest bedroom sits across the hallway and features built-in storage, alongside an additional bathroom.
