Ruston Mews

At once uplifting and soothing, this three-bedroom mews home is a tranquil retreat in the heart of vibrant Notting Hill.

A bolthole to and from the thrum of west London, step inside a mews home imagined for contemporary family life. Enter a modern open-plan kitchen and dining space, where a neutral interior palette offers a streamlined and serene atmosphere. Bench seating has dual functionality: an inviting place for friends to gather around the dining table; a clever storage solution for a clutter-free space. A family-sized bathroom can also be found on this floor.

The social heart of the home occupies the first floor – a spacious reception room is complete with sweeping wood floors and reams of south-facing light. From here, step onto the balcony; a sun-trap come warmer climes, it looks over the peaceful row of mews houses.

Ascend the stairs to the second floor, where the home’s characteristic pared-back tones and cosy feel is continued in the master suite. Draw back floor-to-ceiling curtains to reveal a second balcony – slide open the French doors to welcome in a gentle breeze. The en-suite bathroom is wrapped in warm-toned marble and features a walk-in shower. Two further bedrooms – one with an en-suite – are tranquil spaces for family and guests alike to press pause in. From the first-floor bedroom, head outside to the tiered garden. A breath of fresh air amidst the busy city, there’s space for innovative landscape design and alfresco entertaining in abundance.
