Pembridge Crescent, Notting Hill, W11

A rare opportunity to acquire the penthouse apartment of an immaculate period conversion, this pristine duplex presents two sprawling floors bound by grand lateral living areas and an enduring aesthetic. Found just a picturesque stroll from Portobello Road, a double-fronted façade draws a captivating first impression.

Ascending via lift to the third floor – lofty ceilings lend an impressive sense of space across an entire level dedicated to an expansive social setting. Encircling a sculptural staircase, daily life plays out with unrivalled ease here. To one side, a double reception room considerately treads between soothing and inspiring. Proportions are carved with light and space in mind, artfully lit by arching sash windows and an extravagant skylight.

Arranged as a bridge between spaces, a classic kitchen unites the dining and reception rooms. Neutral toned walls are distinguished with dark cabinetry, a striking effect emphasised by light from above. There’s endless space and storage for inspiring chefs, plus an island and breakfast bar for informal meals. Light hues extend into the dining room, a considered space backdropped by doors to a south-facing terrace.

Descending to the floor below, three bedroom suites are spaces of solace, each as considered as the next. Occupying one half of the lower level, a principal bedroom suite encapsulates elevated luxury. Hushed tones and considered details elevate the sleeping quarters, while pastel grey cabinetry frames the dressing room. The en suite bathroom offers a restorative start to days, complete with a walk-in shower, bathtub and terrace. A study space sits to the opposite side, with glass doors opening to a sun-trap balcony. Two further bedrooms are calming in design and colour, both with fitted storage and en suite bathrooms.

Just minutes away from the heart of Notting Hill, there’s a true sense of tranquillity to Pembridge Crescent. Stop by Farm Girl for breakfast or brunch, then browse the vintage stores and antique stalls on Portobello Road. Take an invigorating workout at Bodyism, picking up groceries from Daylesford Organic en route home. Enjoy Grecian delights at Zephyr, then end the day with drinks at Gold.
