Aldridge Road Villas, London, W11

Tucked into the upper floors of a classic Notting Hill townhouse, this four-bedroom duplex pays quiet respect to its period past. Reimagined by an international historical preservation architect, it’s a home that considers every detail – from the materials underfoot to the light overhead.

An inverted layout brings the living spaces skyward. On the top floor, a bright and effortless atmosphere is conjured with natural light cascading through brand-new sash windows, glass doors and skylights. At one end, the kitchen is defined by its U-shaped design – a space that feels at once distinct and completely connected. Bespoke cabinetry is punctuated by custom carpentry detailing in blush pink, while a marble-topped island pairs with a Falcon range cooker and Liebherr wine fridge. In the living area, reintroduced traditional touches nod to the home’s framework, while a wall of floor-to-ceiling glazing allows the indoors to spill out with ease. From the south-west facing balcony, enjoy evening aperitifs backdropped by treetop views.

Descend a bespoke staircase to the lower level, where three double bedrooms bring calm and considered design. The principal suite leans soft and sophisticated, with blush-toned walls, a bank of streamlined wardrobes and twin arching sash windows. Behind a sliding door, the en suite is finished in Italian marble and fitted with a rainfall shower. Two further bedrooms are similarly curated, with warm tones and design-forward finishes, while a marble-clad family bathroom serves both with a deep tub. A fourth double bedroom sits upstairs – a flexible space to rest, work or train.

Every aspect of the infrastructure has been upgraded for comfort – underfloor heating, integrated LED accent lighting, smart thermostat controls and sockets with USB-C.

Within strolling distance of Golborne Road and Portobello Market, Aldridge Road Villas is moments away from the best of Notting Hill. Spend the weekends browsing the antiques and food stalls, or walk along the canal to Little Venice, picking up supplies from Golborne Deli & Wine Store on the way back. You’re spoilt for choice for dining options here – Dorian, The Ledbury and Caractère are all on the doorstep. Offering live music nights and lazy Sunday movies, complete your evening at neighbourhood staple, The Pelican. Ideal for families, the home is situated within an excellent catchment area for renowned schools.
