Chepstow Crescent, Notting Hill, London, W11

This handsome house in Notting Hill has been renovated throughout behind its stucco façade. The five-bedroom property runs to five floors and around 3,302 sq ft, with period proportions meeting bright, contemporary interiors built for family life as much as entertaining.



The raised ground floor holds the main reception room alone: a drawing room stretching almost 38 feet, with high ceilings, oversized sash windows and a fireplace that give the room presence. Doors open directly onto the rear garden, so the room extends outdoors easily in the warmer months.



Downstairs, the lower ground floor opens into one large living space built around a kitchen fitted with deep navy cabinetry, pale stone worktops and a broad island. A dining area runs on from it, and a glazed courtyard set into the middle of the plan brings daylight down into the rooms furthest from the windows. A further double bedroom with its own shower room sits at the front, suited to guests or staff, while a cinema room and a separate gym complete the floor.



The first floor belongs to the principal suite, where the bedroom is large enough to take a sitting area alongside a walk-in dressing room and ensuite bathroom. A separate studio adds a useful extra room, whether as a home office, nursery or second dressing room. Three more bedrooms fill the second floor, sharing two bathrooms and plenty of built-in storage between them.



Outside, the rear garden is landscaped for entertaining and outdoor dining under mature planting, and a second, smaller patio lets extra light down into the lower ground floor. The house also features off-street parking and air conditioning throughout.



Chepstow Crescent sits close to the shops, cafés and restaurants of Westbourne Grove and Ledbury Road, with Kensington Gardens and Holland Park both within easy reach. Notting Hill Gate station is nearby, with Central, Circle and District line trains across London
