Portobello Road, London, W11

A charming cobbled lane is the scenic setting for this design-led home, on an iconic corner of Notting Hill. Down a private gated mews, considered styling fills an arresting industrial-style framework.

Primed for gathering, an open-plan reception and dining room acts as the centrepiece around which living unfolds. Playing with angles and light, imposing black beams create geometric shapes that draw the eye up across a double height ceiling. Paired with an exposed brick wall, steel framed arching windows leave a loft-like impression.

An L-shape configuration organically divides the room – the immediate area styled as a lounge with soft sage furnishings that bring a welcoming warmth. Wooden floors sweep through to the dining area, where suspended pendant lights overhang a dining table surrounded by Acacia chairs with woven seats. Artwork by Sofia Lind adorns one wall, while an opening in the other mirrors the silhouette of the windows, offering a view through to the kitchen.

A refined space to expand culinary skills, marble countertops combine with light wooden cabinetry. Brushed gold hardware lends an opulent touch, echoing the accents of a black Lofra oven. Miele appliances are nestled neatly under the countertops, making the most of space.

Upstairs – light, space, and steel beams combine to continue an industrial feel in two bright bedrooms. Both minimalist and whitewashed – wooden accents and considered textures produce an inviting ambiance. From the second bedroom, a ladder leads up to an intimate mezzanine floor, ideally suited as an office or lounge space. Set on the lower floor, a spacious shower room features a marble tiled rainfall shower.

The home also comes with a private covered parking space, plus an on-site porter until 4pm during the week.
