Durham Terrace, Notting Hill, London, W2, United Kingdom

Set across the second, third and fourth floors of a well-maintained period conversion, this beautifully executed apartment showcases an elevated approach to materials, layout and light. Carefully refurbished throughout, the home combines considered detailing with natural textures to create a quietly sophisticated living environment in one of London’s most desirable neighbourhoods.



Entry is on the second floor and the third floor is arranged for social living, with a walnut-clad kitchen that opens onto an expansive reception room. Framed by large sash windows and finished in specialist lime paint by Bauwerk, the space feels bright and sculptural, with soft-toned plasterwork that changes subtly with the light. The kitchen itself is fitted with bespoke cabinetry in walnut veneer and a marble-topped breakfast bar, offering plenty of space for cooking and entertaining. A private balcony leads off the landing.



Upstairs, the fourth floor is home to two bedrooms, including a generous principal suite with twin sash windows overlooking the quiet street below. The second bedroom opens onto a broad rear-facing balcony and shares a family bathroom with the other room. Here, honed terrazzo stone and hand-applied Tadelakt plaster create a moody atmosphere, while a bespoke walnut cabinet completes the palette.



Throughout the apartment, the finishes are subtle and intentional. Floors have been sanded, stained in Honey Oak and sealed for softness and warmth underfoot. All plasterwork is treated in pale limewash for a muted, textural finish, while skirtings, sills and interior doors are painted in Edward Bulmer’s Dove,a gentle, heritage tone that complements the handmade feel of the joinery.



Designed with an intuitive floorplan that separates the living and sleeping areas across two levels, the home maximises both light and flow. Large windows, dual-aspect rooms and clean lines give the impression of greater volume, while every surface and finish has been chosen for both its beauty and longevity.



Durham Terrace itself is a peaceful, tree-lined street within a charming pocket of Notting Hill. Westbourne Grove, with its acclaimed restaurants, cafés and boutiques, is just moments away, while the wider amenities of Notting Hill Gate and the green expanses of Hyde Park are close by. Transport connections are excellent, with Royal Oak station (Hammersmith & City and Circle Lines) within easy reach. Paddington is nearby for the A40, Heathrow Express and future Crossrail access, making this an exceptional west London base.
