Monmouth Place

There’s an eclectic, country-pile feel to this one-bedroom lateral apartment, set in a quiet Notting Hill lane.

On a peaceful row of houses just moments from Westbourne Grove, this one-bedroom apartment is all natural light, wood finishes and playful decor – spread across an expansive lateral footprint. Enter on the first floor into a spacious open-plan kitchen, dining and reception room, where original rustic floorboards set a down-to-earth tone. Sunlight beams through a series of large double-glazed sash windows, softly illuminated the high whitewashed walls and ceilings.

Kitchen cabinets, fashioned out of reclaimed wood, are paired with patterned tiles and open shelving, while an electric-blue Smeg fridge catches the eye. The living area is an inviting setting, laid with multicoloured woven rugs, vintage cabinets and patterned upholstery. From the hallway, there’s access to a tranquil patio garden. Stretching down the length of the property, it’s a secluded oasis that’s perfect for London’s sunny days.

The principal bedroom enjoys the same spacious, light-flooded proportions as the home’s social heart. Uplifting in design and character, muted walls and carpets lend attention to the green tartan curtains, ornate four-poster bed and letterbox-red drawers. There’s a walk-in wardrobe providing plenty of storage, leading through to the minimalist bathroom.
