Hayden's Place, London, W11

An unexpected pairing of contemporary and country, this imaginative three-floor home inspires at every turn. Layered with rich design and natural light, Hayden Place takes Notting Hill living to new heights.

Finished with a playful feel, the open-plan living space draws in light from every angle. A skylight brings a sunny disposition to the kitchen, drawn together with canary yellow cabinetry and an intimate breakfast bar. Light wooden floors connect the dining and reception space, where bright white walls serve as a canvas for interior creativity. Working in conjunction with architectural interventions, glass doors enliven the space, leading to a serene patio garden.

Ascending to the first floor, a vaulted-barrel ceiling brings an impressive sense of scale and volume to an additional reception room. A versatile space for study or play, integrated shelving can be styled with books, oddities or artwork. Glazing draws back to a small balcony – an idyllic vantage point to take in the surrounding greenery.

Set on the same floor, the principal bedroom suite stands out with a considered material palette. Hushed hues bring a calming air, while wooden walls work in harmony with pastel details. In the bathroom, an intricately tiled shower is designed to impress. Two further bedrooms are finished with an eclectic edge, one of which is served by a sophisticated shower room. Arranged across the top floor, a fourth bedroom comes with a striking built-in bed framed by rattan cabinetry. From this bedroom, discover a decked terrace with views across the Notting Hill roofscape.

Set among some of Notting Hill’s most sought-after spots, Hayden Place puts Portobello Road on your doorstep. Spend mornings browsing antiques at Portobello Market or perusing literature at the iconic Notting Hill Bookshop. Grab a sourdough from Fabrique before a session at SoulCycle to get your energy levels up. In the evenings, catch a film at the renowned Electric Cinema or indulge in some fine dining at Gold, both just a stone’s throw away. Ladbroke Grove station is also just five minutes away, providing easy access to the city.
