Chepstow Crescent

Crittall windows, rich materials, curated artwork and verdant outdoor space. This three-bedroom townhouse on one of Notting Hill's most peaceful crescents sets a new standard for design-led city living.

In the heart of residential Notting Hill, Chepstow Crescent quietly unfolds with rows of handsome heritage properties and leafy trees. Behind an immaculate façade and portico entryway, this three-bedroom townhouse is defined by material punch and aesthetic panache. Decorated by acclaimed designer Jonathan Reed, the home carries an enduring creative pedigree. Across its four spacious storeys, expect considered artwork, bespoke furnishings and hi-tech appliances all seamlessly layered.

A large Crittall window makes a bold first impression, separating the entrance hall from the open-plan kitchen and dining room beyond. The glass door slides open into the social setting: at one end, banquette seating curves around a breakfast table, beautifully lit by an oversized sash window, while a wood-burning stove sits against an earthy-toned metro tile wall. The kitchen is centred by a crackle-glazed ceramic island by celebrated French ceramicists Pyrolave, while warm wood worktops and an array of hi-tech appliances from Miele, Sub-Zero, Wolf and Quooker match form with function.

At the far end, the dining room has a more tranquil character – neutral tones, a minimalist table and sofa, and wall-to-wall Crittall windows that flood the space with natural light. Beyond, doors open onto a private balcony leading down to the garden. It’s a serene and lushly planted scene, with hydrangeas, olive trees and roses framing a secluded table – the perfect setting for al fresco dining and entertaining.

Occupying the entire first floor, a double reception room celebrates the period proportions of Chepstow Crescent. A pair of sash windows casts light across the room, framed by floor-to-ceiling pendant lights that also frame the marble fireplace. Bold prints and paintings are hung throughout, providing an artful backdrop for reading and conversation on the Rose Uniacke and Roche Bobois sofas. French doors open onto a private terrace, screened for privacy by a garden trellis.

The principal bedroom suite occupies the entire second floor – restful and thoroughly contemporary, with warm tones across the walls, carpeted floors and full-height sliding timber wardrobes (that open to reveal a hidden television). The en suite bathroom features a sculptural Water Monopoly bathtub, a bespoke dual-vanity and glass-framed shower.

On the lower ground floor, two guest suites bring their own mood and style. One glows with warm lamplight against an earthy-toned scheme, its en suite bathroom anchored by a canary-yellow freestanding bathtub set against feature metro tiling. The second bedroom suite is finished in botanical wallpaper that echoes the garden beyond, accessed directly through French windows and a private terrace.
