Talbot Road

A meticulously curated three-bedroom duplex for sale defined by monochromatic tones, gallery-like proportions and south-facing views across one of Notting Hill’s most picturesque streets.

Talbot Road’s peaceful character belies its enviable proximity to the amenities of Westbourne Grove and to buzzing Portobello. Occupying the second and third floors of a classic Notting Hill townhouse, this three-bedroom home echoes the design-focused yet tranquil character of Notting Hill – unfolding with a strong visual identity and an emphasis on light, materiality and flow.

The open-plan living room sets the tone: south-facing and bathed in sunlight, it commands uninterrupted views down Northumberland Place — a postcard panorama of pastel façades and mature magnolia trees. Underfoot, ‘midnight oak’ flooring runs throughout, offset by brilliant white walls and tall skirting boards to create a striking monochrome canvas. Integrated ceiling lighting and directional spotlights lend a gallery-like ambience, ideal for interior creativity.

A dining area is illuminated by a Tom Raffield Arame pendant, offering an artisanal focal point for mealtime gatherings. Beyond, the kitchen is sleek and streamlined in its execution. White matte cabinetry is paired with black hardware and smooth quartz worktops for a crisp, contemporary finish. The island doubles as a breakfast bar, while dual-aspect fenestration draws light deep into the plan. Fully integrated appliances complete the scene, including a Smeg induction hob, NEFF double oven with warming drawer, AEG fridge and freezer, CDA wine fridge and dishwasher.

Minimalism ensues in the bedrooms. The principal suite is a calming setting defined by pale tones and softly diffused light. Integrated wardrobes span one wall, with a dedicated vanity table carved into the structure. The eye is drawn to a second Tom Raffield pendant light, introducing warmth to the space. Two further bedrooms offer versatility, equally suited as guest rooms, dressing spaces or home offices. Throughout all these rooms, Roman blinds by nearby Prȇt Á Vivre inject splash of colour to the otherwise muted palettes.

Two bathrooms have an expressive atmosphere. The family bathroom pairs clean white sanitaryware with green tiling and heated off-white floors. Renovated in 2022, the shower room is moodier in tone: a dark rainfall shower sits against oversized black tiles, offset by playful confetti-pink walls and grout. Completing the home, there’s a separate WC featuring geometric monochrome floor tiles and bold yellow walls, as well as access to a non-demised loft space.
