Colville Road

Found on the third and fourth floors of a stucco-fronted townhouse in Notting Hill, this architect designed duplex for sale is a masterpiece of classic style.

Behind its dove-grey exterior, expansive glazing, tall ceilings and period features flow throughout this considered duplex apartment reimagined by RYE Design. Currently set up as a one-bedroom home, it enjoys two generous living spaces, one of which could be transformed into a second bedroom. An inverted floorplan places the largest of these living areas on the top floor. Softly lit by natural light, honey-hued parquet floors flow underfoot uniting distinct areas for cooking, dining and kicking back

The bespoke underfloor-heated kitchen sits subtly separated to the rear with elegant marble worktops and a deVOL sink. Traditional shaker-style cabinets hint to the home’s heritage framework, while state-of-the-art integrated Miele appliances ensure the culinary domain is up-to-date. A dining area sits off the side of the kitchen, with space for a large dining table, while the living area features bespoke storage along one wall, plus expansive bi-fold doors that open onto a private southwest-facing patio, with views out over Notting Hill’s rooftops.

Downstairs, a second reception room dominates at the front of the home, with the potential to be converted into a spacious second bedroom. Making the most of its third floor position, the striking bay window features a built-in seat that opens out into a convenient guest bed. Bespoke bookcases line one wall, alongside an eye-catching marble fireplace that takes centre stage together with a retracting cinema screen. Tucked behind a seamless sliding door lies a study with views out over the leafy street below.

The principal bedroom is situated at the back of the home, where natural tones and textures produce a calming aesthetic. A large window lets in plenty of light, while custom-made wall-to-wall storage amplifies the sense of space.

Both bathrooms enjoy underfloor heating, controlled by NEST thermostats, making this a home for all seasons. In one, the Carrera marble bathtub makes an eye-catching centre piece, while Satin Slipper walls and brass taps exude elegance. In the other, pale blue subway tiles envelop the walk-in rainfall shower complete with brass finishes.
