Westbourne Grove, Notting Hill, W11

A charcoal-black façade sits boldly amongst Westbourne Grove’s rows of pastel-toned townhouses. Inside, the heritage grandeur of this six-bedroom home has been redrawn with awe-inspiring contemporary imagination.

The ground-floor reception room sets a tone of stylish elegance, with dark wood floors, marble accents and a gilded metal screen – aesthetic sentiments employed throughout the home. Set above the modern fireplace, a large mirror amplifies the swathes of sunlight that fill the space. A glass balustrade frames an immense double-height void connecting this room to the open-plan kitchen and dining area below. It holds striking architectural impact, engineered with full-height glazing and an expansive roof light – emphasised further by a sculptural chandelier that spans the vertical drop.

The lower-ground floor kitchen is centered by a large island, finished in lustrous marble that continues to sweep across the floors. Chef-grade Gaggenau and Miele appliances make for an erganomic culinary setting, whilst full-height wine storage is seamlessly integrated behind glass doors with bronze framing. Beyond the dining space, the voluminous glass panels slide open with immaculate precision to the garden. A towering wall of blonde brick and clean-line whitewashed seating paints an urban al fresco scene.

A staircase descends to an intimate family room on the basement level. Transforming the subterranean plot into a showpiece of cutting-edge design, a marble-clad swimming pool is positioned next door. Its opulence is enriched with sunlight that filters through a glass roof during the day and recessed track lighting which casts a warm glow come evening. This floor also hosts a gym, double bedroom and shower room, organised around an internal courtyard.

The sumptuous principal bedroom suite occupies the entire first floor, introduced through a corridor of velvet sage-green paneled wardrobes. Modish finishes span the plush grey carpets to the bold marble bathroom, complete with a dual vanity and oversized rainfall shower. Light is channeled through floor-to-ceiling French windows, accentuating the glinting crystal chandelier. From here, there’s direct access to the suntrap roof terrace. Spread across the lower-ground, second and third floors are four guest bedrooms and two bathrooms – continuing the home’s flawless craftmanship. This home’s outstanding refurbishment showcases the timelessness of expert design. Six stories of standout materials and sprawling proportions render a compelling canvas for modern family dwelling, enhanced by its inimitable position on Westbourne Grove.
