Set behind a distinctive blue façade, this apartment brings a calm, contemporary touch to its original character. The first-floor reception room is the focal point: expansive, light-filled and softened by restrained tones and textures. Cornicing traces the ceiling, while a dark stone fireplace anchors the space. Tucked with the broad bay window, the dining area makes the most of the natural light and leafy street views. The adjoining galley kitchen has a quieter register, with timber worktops, a tall sash window and generous storage. A balcony beyond opens the apartment to the greenery below. The bedroom continues the muted palette, creating a restful backdrop to the changing light throughout the day. In the bathroom, shaker-style cabinetry, chrome fittings and a walk-in shower lend a crisp, considered finish. Location Perfectly located to enjoy the fabric of Notting Hill life, Powis Square sits at the heart of the neighbourhood. Just down the road, pick up pastries to go from Buns from Home before browsing the antiques shops and market stalls along Portobello Road. Shop for groceries at Daylesford Organic or stop for lunch at Ottolenghi followed by a drink at The Walmer Castle. Michelin-starred The Ledbury is on your doorstep for an evening of fine dining, along with neighbourhood bistro Dorian.
