Linden Gardens, Notting Hill, London, W2

A minimalist palette enlivened with pops of colour and swathes of natural light, Linden Gardens uplifts as it soothes. Head to the fifth floor and enter a sweeping open-plan reception room and kitchen. A vaulted glass roof affords a voluminous feel, whilst blonde floors and whitewashed walls amplify the natural light and spaciousness.

Beauty in simplicity is realised with a dark tuxedo sofa, sitting boldly in the centre of the space. A television faces opposite, perfect for cosy film nights. At one end of the room, exposed brickwork harks to the textural and aesthetic feel of a loft – it’s a compelling backdrop for the kitchen area. There’s industrial panache to the steel-toned worktops and integrated appliances, with the vibrant orange Smeg fridge capturing the eye.

A staircase with playful neon yellow treads ascends to the roof terrace. Chimney tops and green planters frame the immaculately-decked space, overlooking west London’s eclectic roofscape. It’s a serene spot for morning coffees, lunchtime barbecues and evening sundowners alike.

The master bedroom is a thoroughly relaxed space, with a low-rise bed and integrated storage. From this room and the reception area, two sets of folding doors reveal an additional space which can be imagined as a study, dressing room or guest bedroom. Echoing the tranquil character of the master bedroom, the family bathroom is complete with panels of floor-to-ceiling frosted glass in a soothing sea-green hue.

Location:
Located just off Notting Hill Gate, Linden Gardens – a tranquil, tree-lined street – is a springboard to and from vibrant west London. A five-minute walk north takes you to Portobello Road for vintage shopping and global eateries. Swap city streets for ample greenery with a stroll through Kensington Gardens, then a trip to the Design Museum. Feel rejuvenated with a fitness class at Bodyism on nearby Westbourne Grove, followed by brunch at Granger & Co.
