Portobello Road

A gallery of light and proportions, this two-bedroom maisonette for sale pairs an understated aesthetic with an elevated perspective over Portobello Market.

Accessed via the secluded mews of Hayden’s Place, a dark, distinguished exterior gives only subtle clues as to the home within. From a private ground-floor entrance, stairs ascend to the open-plan kitchen and reception room. This pared-back, split-level space features dual sash windows that pour light into the living area, creating an uplifting feel.

At the rear of the room, a peninsula kitchen combines contemporary cabinetry, integrated appliances and hexagonal marble wall tiles. Sliding gallery walls make for a versatile space with various options for displaying prized artwork. A central space could serve as a seating or study area.

Allowing light to flow through the apartment, an open-tread staircase leads up to the second floor where a decked terrace overlooks the mews. Facing southwest for afternoon sun, this design-led space also benefits from a retractable awning with integrated lighting.

Inside, generous sash windows frame views of the market below in the front-facing bedroom. Above, an inverted pitched ceiling creates a sense of cosiness while sliding doors reveal concealed storage – pushing visual noise into the walls. This space could also be used as an additional reception room.

The home’s guest bedroom pairs walls finished in denim-toned plaster with a quiet, rear-facing positioning while the bathroom enjoys a frameless rainfall shower and a distinctive two-tone cabinet vanity.
