Ladbroke Square

Caught between Notting Hill and Holland Park, this one-bedroom apartment brings considered contemporary design to its heritage framework.

Set on the second floor of a quintessential period townhouse, this one-bedroom lateral apartment has been crafted with a refined interior eye. Reclaimed herringbone Iroko timber floors make a striking first impression, spanning the open-plan reception and dining room as you enter. Walls are finished in matte plaster and Farrow & Ball paint for timeless appeal, with plenty of sunlight pouring through a sash window and French doors – through which there’s a Juliet balcony overlooking the leafy Ladbroke Conservation area. Underfloor heating runs throughout, keeping Ladbroke Square cosy year-round.

From the Verde Alpi marble worktops to the Nuie ceramic undermounted sink, polished nickel hardware, custom dark-green cabinetry and integrated Siemens appliances, the kitchen is a flawless canvas of contemporary design. During the daytime, natural light filters in through a sash window; when night draws in, there’s ambient lighting by Soho Home.

The refined style and sense of calm is continued in the principal bedroom, with its natural hues, reams of sunlight and bespoke wardrobes lined with Phillip Jeffries wallpaper and Matilda Goad handles. Behind a sliding pocket door is a modish bathroom, featuring Alsace honed marble tiling, a frameless walk-in shower and a custom Carrara marble vanity.
