Pembridge Crescent

A minimalist framework enlivened with eclectic accents, this two-bedroom Notting Hill apartment is a lesson in serene lateral living.

With soaring period townhouses for its neighbours, this two-bedroom apartment is a contemporary stamp on a storied Notting Hill street. Ascend to the fifth floor, where Brazilian sucupira floors draw you into the open-plan reception room and kitchen. It’s an uplifting and light-flooded space, courtesy of south-facing sash windows. To one side, an inviting L-shaped sofa is set against a soothing sage feature wall; to the other is a sleek kitchen wrapped in greyscale cabinetry and smooth marble worktops. There’s a relaxed quality to the blonde cow-print bench seating and parquet dining table – these softly rustic textures are an eye-catching detail against the room’s minimalist interior palette.

Sunlit serenity is realised in the master bedroom, with light cascading through Velux windows. Wardrobes and drawers are seamlessly integrated into the whitewashed framework, ensuring a clutter-free space. A guest bedroom shares this feel of tranquillity, enjoying an ensuite shower room. An additional skylit bathroom features an oversized waterfall shower set against a striking tiled wall.
