Holland Park, London, W11

Set within a magnificent white stucco, double-fronted villa on one of Holland Park’s most sought-after avenues, this newly refurbished duplex apartment spans the raised ground and lower ground floors, combining the elegance of soaring ceilings and vast bay windows with the comfort of a contemporary, design-led interior.

The raised ground floor is arranged around a formal sitting room with an original bay and intricate cornicing, balanced by a study at the rear, which overlooks the garden and is lined with impressive bespoke joinery.

Across the hall, a bespoke kitchen by 202 Design, with marble surfaces installed by GMI and a full suite of Gaggenau appliances, is centred on a striking island beneath remarkable ceiling heights; it flows into a generous living, dining and family room, complete with its own fireplace, creating a symmetry of light and proportion.

On the lower ground floor, five ensuite bedrooms are thoughtfully arranged: a vast principal suite with dressing room, bathroom and direct access to the private garden; a second bedroom with bay window overlooking the garden; a guest suite; and a further two bedrooms to the front, one ideally suited to staff with its own kitchen and utility.

The interiors and FF&E have been curated by Albion Nord, with a full specification available if required. Throughout, the apartment has been finished with meticulous attention to detail: joinery by Teco Bespoke, televisions including Sony 65-inch screens in the principal rooms, a full SONOS system with in-ceiling speakers, underfloor heating and an AC system to all main areas.

Security and technology are of the highest standard, with Lutron lighting, CCTV covering all outdoor areas, secure video entry at both gates, a Hiscox-compliant alarm and fire system, and two safes including a Grade 6 installation with a £140k rating. Sole access to the landscaped rear garden completes this rare home, a seamless blend of period grandeur and modern sophistication in one of London’s most desirable addresses.

Holland Park itself is one of London’s most enchanting enclaves, where leafy avenues lined with grand villas open onto one of the capital’s most romantic parks, famed for its Kyoto Garden, open-air opera and sweeping lawns. From here, it is only a short stroll to Notting Hill with its vibrant mix of boutiques, cafés and cultural landmarks, while nearby Kensington High Street offers an abundance of shopping and dining. Holland Park Underground Station on the Central Line provides swift connections across London, with the West End, Mayfair and the City all within easy reach.
