A one-bedroom apartment with presence and period bones. This converted Victorian fire station is a one-of-a-kind find in the heart of Notting Hill.
First built in 1870, this landmark Ladbroke Road fire station has been thoughtfully reimagined as a striking home of volume and vision. Set across the ground floor and spanning nearly 1,000 sq ft, it’s a rare rental opportunity in one of London’s most creative neighbourhoods.
Beyond a plant-filled front garden, a dramatic pivot door sets the tone for what’s to come. The space opens up into a vast double-height studio room, where ceilings soar to over 4.5m. Crisp modernist lines, whitewashed walls and curated contemporary artworks elevate the experience – part home, part gallery.
The open-plan layout is subtly zoned. A sleek galley kitchen is tucked away just out of sight, concealed yet connected, finished in muted tones and fitted with Gaggenau and Bosch appliances. Overhead the reception space, a mezzanine level offers flexibility: a reading room, dining space or home office with a view across the social hub below.
The principal bedroom sits quietly behind the building’s original fire station doors – a striking reminder of the apartment’s history. Black floors and clean white walls create a tonal contrast, while bespoke shutters in the en suite bathroom offer a playful connection back to the main space.
A leafy setting between Holland Park and Notting Hill, this area is characterised by eye-catching Victorian and Georgian architecture as well as luscious green spaces and renowned restaurants. Start the day with bites from Farm Girl or brunch at Akub. Wander south to Holland Park to explore the Kyoto Gardens, followed by a world-class exhibition at the Design Museum. Amble west and you’ll hit The Village at Westfield Shopping Centre. Pick up groceries from Supermarket of Dreams and sweet treats at Buns From Home. Venture through Notting Hill for a film at the Electric Cinema, then round off the evening at local haunt Gold or three-Michelin-starred Core by Clare Smyth.
The elegance of Holland Park is rooted in its grandiose period properties and eponymous green space, complemented by a welcoming family-friendly community.
