Dartmouth Close, London

Connection and calm converge at Dartmouth Close. Leafy, residential and moments from the heart of Notting Hill, this two-bedroom duplex balances its connected postcode with a sense of quiet retreat.

On the ground floor, light and flow define the living spaces. Arranged for practicality and streamlined socialising, the kitchen and reception room unfold as one. The material palette is tactile but grounded – soft yellow cabinetry, deep wooden worktops and light walls that amplify the sense of space. A long island doubles as a breakfast bar, while a considered arrangement carves out natural zones to dine, lounge or work from home. Through a glass door, the private patio garden naturally extends the living space – a peaceful backdrop with the benefit of external access.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom is a picture of composure: soft grey tones, natural light and bespoke fitted wardrobes. The second bedroom continues the calm, finished with carpet and warm neutral walls. A contemporary family bathroom serves both rooms, fitted with a bathtub and overhead rainfall shower, while a neighbouring cloakroom adds convenience. The home additionally benefits from a recently updated hot water system, alongside newly installed windows.

Within walking distance to Golborne Road, Westbourne Grove and Portobello Road, this quiet close puts you in the heart of Notting Hill’s hotspots. Even closer to your front door, Westbourne Park Road and All Saints Road are home to some of the best evening spots in the neighbourhood, from Dorian and Caractère to The Pelican and The Cow. Come the weekend, brunch at Granger & Co. in one direction, or Golborne Deli & Wine Store in the other, before picking up groceries at Daylesford Organic and recharging with a workout at Bodyism.
