Hillgate Street, London, W8

Nestled on the border of Notting Hill, there’s a village-style feel to the streets surrounding this captivating townhouse. Serving seamless duality – both a stepping stone to central London and a haven from its bustle – it’s a prime spot to savour the best of both worlds.

Arranged across four immaculately presented floors, an impressive footprint of over 2,000 sq. ft unfurls. Smooth stone tiles sweep through an office space in the entrance, leading through to the home’s primary reception room. Designed for sun-lit socialising, a wall of glass serves as a radiant backdrop, sliding aside to a Juliet balcony overlooking the patio below.

Descending to the lower ground floor, a lateral living space vaunts refined finishes and uplifting natural light. An indulgent setting to discover your inner chef, a bespoke kitchen is comprised of Miele appliances – from a wine cooler and coffee maker to a warming drawer – and a book-matched Marazzi Calacatta Vecchia island. Lutron lighting brings a gentle glow to the dining area, while glass doors lend a peaceful feel to the lounge. Draw back the bi-folding doors to a pristine patio garden – an idyllic spot for alfresco dining during warmer months. Days here come sound tracked by the Sonos system, with speakers on each floor and in the courtyard.

Encompassing the entire top floor, a calming principal bedroom suite is drawn together with neutral tones and soothing textures. Enjoy effortless mornings with a dedicated dressing space, plus an indulgent en suite bathroom. Two further bedroom suites sit across the floor below, dressed in soothing hues with soft natural light. Both benefit from elegant en suite bathrooms, while one additionally enjoys access to an intimate terrace.

Offering additional safety and security, the home benefits from a CCTV camera and secure door entry.
