Elgin Crescent, Notting Hill, W11

A soaring townhouse with a whitewashed stucco façade illustrates Elgin Crescent’s period pedigree. Positioned on the property’s first-floor, this one bedroom apartment’s expansive lateral footprint and polished interiors are set for modern city living.

High ceilings, whitewashed walls and warm wood floors set a sophisticated tone for the open-plan kitchen and reception room. There’s an exceptional sense of volume, courtesy of three sash windows that infuse the space with sunlight. A pared-back interior palette lends attention to heritage details: decorative cornicing, an ornate ceiling rose, and a marble feature fireplace laid with garnet-toned tiles. The kitchen pairs wooden cabinets with glossy black worktops; it’s an understated yet functional culinary environment. Outside the windows, a balcony framed with cast-iron railings overlooks the tranquil residential street. For a further breath of fresh air, the apartment enjoys access to highly-sought after communal gardens.

Continuing the home’s pared-back character, the double bedroom is all pale walls and spacious proportions. Soft light is diffused through a full-height sash window, affording a thoroughly soothing feel. Echoing the reception room, a marble feature fireplace is accented with teal tiles. An integrated wardrobe makes for a stylish storage solution. Next door, a contemporary bathroom is wrapped in oversized metro tiles.
