Kensington Park Mews

A two-bedroom mews home for sale captures the eclecticism of its Notting Hill postcode.

On a private gated mews, the bustle of Kensington Park Road and Portobello Road awaits at the other side of the cobbled street. Behind a smart brick exterior, this expertly-finished two-bedroom home takes design cues from the opulent roaring twenties and its characterful neighbourhood.

The kitchen makes a bold statement upon entrance. Dark stained parquet floors ground the space, whilst eye is drawn upwards to a ceiling mural of the sky. Crafted by Smallbone, the culinary setting pairs form with function: a marble island is illuminated by a trio of pendant lights, whilst a chef-grade Wolf rangemaster oven and Miele appliances are framed by whitewashed cabinets. Textural flair is afforded by an exposed brick feature wall, delineating a banquette seating area. The main dining room is positioned next door, filled with natural light courtesy of a sash window and the glass wall that separates it from the kitchen.

The modish aesthetic is carried between each floor with a striking glass staircase finished with chrome handrails. Ascend to the first floor, where a black and white panel ribbons around the ceiling of a spacious reception room. With its mirrored wall panels, full-length draped curtains, bespoke home bar and Planika fireplace, it’s a luxe setting tailor-made for socialising. There’s a dedicated study area too, complete with sophisticated bookshelves.

Spread across the top floor is the principal bedroom suite, capitalising on its high vantage point with dual-aspect fenestration. It’s a stylishly monochromatic space, with dark plush carpets that contrast with whitewashed walls. A French door opens onto a private roof terrace overlooking the peaceful mews below. Back inside, the en suite bathroom is a showpiece of book-matched marble.

The home’s lower-ground floor hosts a sumptuous cinema room, complete with royal blue seating and neatly-engineered track lighting. Sharing this floor is a utility room and second bedroom with detailed wallpaper and floor-to-ceiling mirrored wardrobes.
