Monmouth Road, London, W2

Straddling Bayswater and Notting Hill, there’s a real sense of community to be found on the doorstep of Monmouth Road. Outside, the neighbourhood’s best amenities converge. Inside, the interiors of this fourth-floor apartment are as curated as its setting.

Found within a classic stucco-fronted townhouse, polish meets practicality throughout. Natural light is abundant, flowing through double, east-facing sash windows into the open-plan living room and kitchen. A cohesive layout creates a streamlined backdrop to eat, cook and socialise. Wooden floors add warmth; white units and walls reflect the light. A neatly integrated banquet sits alongside a circular dining table, finished in the same navy as the sofa. The kitchen is just as considered, with ample storage, integrated AEG integrated appliances, plus a Blanco water filter and boiling water tap.

The west-orientated bedroom sits at the rear of the apartment. Well-configured, fitted wardrobes maximise the floor space and a neutral colour scheme keeps things calm and pared-back. Dual black-out and sun blinds control the light, and adjust the mood as required. A contemporary bathroom, with a shower bath and water filter completes the line-up, while Nest automatic heating enhances the living experience.
