Elgin Crescent, London, W11

Elevated on the raised ground floor of two elegant, stucco-fronted buildings, this three-bedroom lateral apartment is a study in proportion, light and aesthetic refinement. Set on one of Notting Hill’s most sought-after crescents, the property sets an elegant tone with its whitewashed façade and portico entranceway.

Beyond the front door, a bright hallway leads into the home's social heart: the voluminous kitchen, dining and reception room, laid with pale wood herringbone floors. Light pours in through large windows, affording a tranquil and uplifting atmosphere to the spacious setting. From the living area, gaze out to the serene garden. Head through bi-folding doors to the culinary area – a bespoke Woodworks kitchen, crafted with solid oak and Arabescato Corchia marble. Keeping in tune with the sleek aesthetic, high-tech Gaggenau and Miele appliances are neatly integrated. An island centres the space, offering a casual breakfast spot.

Thanks to the creative eye of Garden Club London, the outside setting is a serene al fresco sanctum. An immaculate lawn leads to a paved patio area, perfect for warm-weather dining. Surrounding the verdant scene is an array of well-kept foliage, flowerbeds and a blooming camellia tree.

The bedrooms maintain the home’s peaceful, minimalist appeal. A principal bedroom suite is all pared-back tones, with natural light that beams through a bay window. Detailed ceiling cornicing nods to the home’s period heritage, while a row of full-height wardrobes provides a contemporary storage solution. The en suite bathroom is an enclave of calm; its vaulted ceiling filtering soft light across the stone tiles, dual sink, rainfall shower and bathtub. Two additional bedrooms have versatility to be used as offices, dressing rooms and nurseries – served by an additional shower room, featuring sleek marble tiles.

Elgin Crescent is refined, tranquil and firmly embedded in Notting Hill’s gilded neighbourhood. Portobello Road is on your doorstep for antiques shopping and global street food, while Westbourne Grove is lined with brunch spots and upmarket boutiques. When the sun is shining, pick up organic nibbles from Daylesford or Sally Clarke’s deli and head to Holland Park. For special occasions, Michelin-starred Core by Clare Smyth promises a night of fine dining.
