Chepstow Villas, Notting Hill, Kensington & Chelsea W11

With a lift that opens directly into the apartment, this top floor Chepstow Villas home delivers on easy modern living. Pared-down minimalism emanates from the well-proportioned reception room, which incorporates two seating zones plus a kitchen and dining area. Notably bright, one side of the entire space is fitted with a bank of floor-to-ceiling windows that provide access to a private, south-facing balcony.

Taking its cues from contemporary design, the property makes the most of the space and light available, as well as clean parallel lines. White walls and surfaces accentuate the gallery-like feel in the kitchen, complete with dark wood cabinetry, integrated appliances and a sociable breakfast bar. A vast skylight provides additional illumination from above.

Elsewhere, two double bedrooms are considered with ample fitted storage and neutral finishes. Wood panelled wardrobes add warmth to the principal and conceal the entrance to an inviting en suite, featuring a walk-in shower and separate freestanding bathtub. The second bedroom is well sized and served by a striking shower room with a skylight that brings attention to the high ceilings. Welcome additions include underfloor heating and generous storage space throughout.

Situated between Ledbury Road, Westbourne Grove and Portobello Road, Notting Hill is your oyster at Chepstow Villas. Every conceivable amenity is within walking distance. For a workout, head to Bodyism, SoulCycle or go for a run around Kensington Gardens or Holland Park, both a short stroll away. For groceries there’s Daylesford Organic, Bens Greengrocers, Planet Organic and Waitrose. The options for eating out are just as extensive. From the everyday – Ottolenghi, Beam, Granger & Co – to special occasion destinations – Michelin-starred Core by Clare Smyth and The Ledbury.
