Lancaster Road, Notting Hill, London, W11

Flanked by rows of colourful facades, this four-storey home is a study in contrast – classic in silhouette, contemporary in spirit. Inside, a carefully choreographed sequence of spaces unfold with a focus on family living.

Ascending past steps to the raised ground floor, tradition meets transformation. A thoughtfully preserved reception room gives way to a state-of-the-art kitchen: a convivial setting where sunlight streams in across herringbone floors. As functional as it is refined, cook across sleek marble surfaces before dining at the breakfast bar. Accessed from here, a decked balcony is poised above the garden – a quiet perch to savour mornings.

Design makes its boldest statement across the lower-ground floor, where a vast 38 ft reception room dissolves the boundaries between inside and out. Double-height proportions amplify light and perspective, while sliding glass doors extend social spaces outside. Alongside a thoughtful split between patio and lawn, verdant foliage lends a welcome sense of privacy.

The first floor is devoted to the principal suite – a sanctuary of soft neutrals and soothing style. Through the walk-in wardrobe, a spa-like en suite impresses in every regard. From the roll top bathtub and rainfall shower to French doors leading to a private balcony. Three further bedrooms occupy the upper level – one with a contemporary en suite, the others served by a spacious family bathroom. A tucked-away study on the top landing offers a quiet escape, with an additional balcony inviting moments of calm.
