Pembridge Square W2

Traditional meets contemporary in this lateral three-bedroom apartment, ideally situated for the best Notting Hill has to offer.

Light floods into this generously proportioned lateral apartment occupying the first floor of a Grade II-listed, double-fronted townhouse. Step outside the front door and you’ll find yourself in one of Notting Hill’s smartest addresses, Pembridge Square, the apartment overlooks a lush oasis, the tree-filled communal garden.

Inside, an entrance hall leads to a substantial double reception room, where large bay windows channel the evening light thanks to their south-westerly position. Chic pastel-pink contemporary fireplaces honour the sense of symmetry that is typical of period homes. The dark oak floor gives way to tiles in the well-designed kitchen, fitted out with mahogany-tinted joinery and pale polished countertops.

The light-filled master bedroom has soft carpeting and a wall of contemporary storage, while the en suite continues the feeling of understated luxury with a dual vanity, wide-rimmed fitted shower bath and plentiful mirrors. There are two further bedrooms, one with French windows onto a Juliet balcony. Both are currently used as children’s rooms but equally adaptable for bedrooms or home working. Each has an en-suite bathroom, fitted out to the same high standard as the master. Throughout, there’s a calm colour palette, enhancing the sense of tranquillity within this contemporary home.
