Hillgate Street

A brightly painted four-bedroom townhouse set in Notting Hill’s photogenic Hillgate Village. A joyful exterior sets the scene for calming interiors.

Sitting harmoniously among its pastel-toned neighbours, Hillgate Street’s peachy-pink façade is hard to miss. Step inside, however, and the colour palette takes a more neutral turn. Arranged over four floors, understated backdrops create a blank canvas for everyday life.

On entry, you’ll be greeted by a dining room and kitchen, plus a sightline to the walled garden. White walls and high ceilings accentuate the feeling of openness. A fireplace adds an elegant focal point, flanked by bespoke alcove shelving that maximises the space available. Through an opening, the kitchen is finished with cream units and brown granite worksurfaces that wrap around the horseshoe-shaped room. Integrated Neff appliances have been positioned to make the culinary domain as ergonomic as possible. When the weather obliges, dine al fresco in the generous south-west facing patio garden.

On the first floor, the reception room makes the most of its vantage point over Hillgate Street. A marble fireplace and carpeted floors add to the inviting atmosphere, while dual sash windows ensure a steady stream of natural light. Also on this floor, a guest bedroom is similarly bright and airy.

The principal bedroom is found on the second floor. Calming neutrals and convenient fitted storage keep the space streamlined. Next door, the family bathroom pairs white walls with bottle green tiles to striking effect. Take your pick between the wood panelled bathtub and walk-in shower. Two further bedrooms and a shower room await on the lower ground floor, ideal for visiting guests.
