Westbourne Park Road

This four-bedroom stucco-fronted townhouse for sale is a lesson in contemporary finesse – and puts you in the heart of Notting Hill.

Arranged over five floors of an imposing Notting Hill townhouse, this immaculate home draws on its generous volumes to deliver considered living spaces designed for family life. Contemporary finishes are combined with period features throughout to bring a sense of timelessness to the interiors.

Slate grey cornicing accentuates the lofty ceiling height in the double reception room – a more formal space for entertaining or kicking back in front of the fire. Occupying the entire floor below, the open-plan dining room and kitchen is similarly expansive and well-considered. Streamlined cabinets, integrated appliances and a marble-topped island make light work of entertaining, with space to seat a crowd.

When the weather obliges, slide back the bi-folding doors to the quiet patio garden. High walls bring a welcome sense of privacy. Tucked away at the back, there’s a separate office that’s ideal for home working.

A basement media room provides the entertainment once you’ve logged off for the day. An atmospheric space with panelled walls, dim the lights for the silver screen experience. A guest bedroom and bathroom are also found on this level.

Occupying the entire first floor, the principal bedroom exudes a sense of opulence. Tactile wood panelling and soft carpet bring a thoroughly inviting feel – there’s even a working fireplace for the colder months. A row of fitted wardrobes leads the way to an en suite bathroom with a spa-like finish. Think freestanding bathtub, a floor-to-ceiling mirrored wall and double basins. On the second floor, two further bedrooms with fitted storage share a shower room.
