St. Michaels Gardens, North Kensington, London, W10

This carefully reimagined duplex flat, just moments from the heart of Golborne Road, has undergone a thoughtful transformation that embraces both the elegance of its period structure and the clarity of contemporary design.

Set behind a Victorian façades, this exceptional three-bedroom maisonette has been completely reimagined, balancing architectural integrity with an uncompromising level of detail. Spanning approximately 1,349 sq ft, the home unfolds across two beautifully considered floors, where every detail has been meticulously designed and every material selected for its enduring quality.

The raised ground floor is centred around a sequence of elegant living spaces that flow effortlessly from one to the next. A beautifully proportioned reception room, anchored by a bespoke marble fireplace, leads through to a formal dining room before arriving at the heart of the home, a handcrafted oak kitchen where sculptural Taj Mahal quartzite worktops, bespoke joinery and a Lacanche range create a space that is as functional as it is beautiful.

From here, doors open onto a staircase leading down to a wonderfully private south-facing garden. Landscaped with Yorkstone paving, rendered walls and timber trellis, it is a true sun trap, an extension of the living space that invites long lunches, evening dinners and quiet mornings alike.

The lower level is dedicated to rest and retreat, with three generous double bedrooms arranged around a luxurious family bathroom and principal en suite. Arabescato marble, handmade Zellige tiles, bespoke marble vanities and Nicolazzi brassware create bathrooms that feel quietly indulgent, while a private sauna introduces a rare wellness element seldom found in homes of this scale.

Throughout, the material palette is warm, tactile and timeless. Engineered oak flooring runs seamlessly beneath bespoke handmade joinery, handcrafted wardrobes with linen-lined interiors, intricate plaster mouldings and Farrow & Ball finishes, all complemented by Corston ironmongery and a carefully considered decorative lighting scheme. The result is a home that feels deeply crafted rather than simply renovated.

St. Michael's Gardens occupies an enviable position between Golborne Road and Portobello Road, at the heart of one of West London's most exciting neighbourhoods. The area has evolved into a destination in its own right, where independent restaurants, neighbourhood wine bars, artisan bakeries and carefully curated boutiques sit alongside the historic market that has long defined Notting Hill. From morning coffee at Layla Bakery and lunch on Golborne Road to evenings at Dorian, Straker's or one of the area's many neighbourhood favourites, life here is effortlessly local, creative and connected.

Despite its vibrant energy, the street itself remains remarkably peaceful. A quiet residential enclave moments from the best of the neighbourhood. Excellent transport links via Ladbroke Grove, provide easy access across London.

A home defined by craftsmanship, considered design and an exceptional sense of place, this is contemporary London living at its most refined.
