Colville Terrace

On one of Notting Hill’s most colourful streets, material creativity plays out across this sunlit two-bedroom garden apartment.

In keeping with the row of artfully coloured townhouses, a pastel-pink stucco exterior makes a bright first impression for this two-bedroom garden apartment. Descend to the lower-ground floor entrance, where parquet wood floors draw you into the spacious reception room. Whitewashed walls lend attention to eclectic furnishings: velvet teal sofas, contemporary artwork and a geometric tiled fireplace.

A long stretch of hallway leads to the kitchen and dining room, crafted with a tactile material palette. Charcoal-toned stone floors, exposed brickwork and dark-stained wood cabinets add an urban edge to the culinary setting, with a large Range oven taking centre stage. Reams of sunlight pour in through a variety of glazing: skylights, sliding glass doors and most eye-catching, the oversized porthole window seat. Synergy is drawn from the dining area to the garden outside through the full-height windows and continuation of stone flooring.

A patio is complete with integrated bench seating, while a lawn sits above. Privacy is afforded with tall brick walls covered in verdant greenery.Back inside, the two bedrooms are accessed along the hallway. Sisal carpets set a refined tone for the principal bedroom, which is filled with natural light through a sash window. Its ensuite bathroom is a modern affair, with oversized marble tiles and sleek black faucets and finishes. The guest bedroom features two single beds,and a large glass door that opens onto the interior patio. An additional bathroom is modish with dark walls and a rainfall shower.
