With its pastel green stucco-frontage, Ladbroke Grove appears a quintessential Notting Hill townhouse. Inside, however, this lower ground floor apartment presents elevated lateral living with a thoroughly modern stamp.

Past an airy entryway, a large double door draws back to reveal a calming reception room. Artfully arranged lighting lends an inviting ambiance, bringing subtle warmth to neutral tones and light wooden floors. There’s a seamless versatility to the space, with a feature wall hosting a sleek recessed space for a TV, and floor-to-ceiling shelves set to be styled as your own private library or sophisticated storage nooks.

A layout that lends itself for effortless entertaining, Crittall glass doors open to the adjoining eat-in kitchen. A muted monochrome affair, black shaker cabinetry is elevated with lustrous gold handles and a glossy white backsplash. Light floods the room from a skylight above, while double doors lead the way to a serene decked space. From here, steps guide the way up to a tiled outdoor oasis. Lounge across the built-in bench seating, soaring maturing trees providing a leafy canopy overhead.

In the principal bedroom suite, a pared-back palette is softened with natural light through a large bay window. A soothing sense of sophistication carries throughout, with pastel grey fitted wardrobes flanking a matching vanity. Wrapped in veined marble, an elegant en suite bathroom features a spacious walk-in shower and a bathtub. Timeless style continues through a guest bedroom, complete with an en suite shower room, and glass doors offering access to the garden.

A prime Notting Hill postcode with enviable proximity to west London’s finest offerings. Take your pick of brunch plates at Sunday in Brooklyn or stop by the sophisticated boutiques along on Westbourne Grove. Animated Portobello Road is just a stone’s throw away, host to an eclectic array of antique stalls and vintage treasures. Take a break from browsing to choose from the thriving street food selection. On leisurely afternoons, wander the picturesque Italian Gardens of Hyde Park. Complete your evening with dinner and drinks at Gold, or celebrate a special occasion in style at three-Michelin-starred Core by Clare Smyth.
