Ladbroke Grove, London, W11

Nestled in a quiet residential patch between Holland Park and Notting Hill, this four-bedroom home has a coveted location in one of West London’s most refined enclaves. Set back from the road, the tranquil surrounds are effortlessly continued inside – thanks to a flawless recent renovation that prioritises natural light, organic materiality and natural light across its spacious footprint.

Warm parquet floors and neutral walls in Farrow & Ball’s ‘Pointing’ set a calm tone as you enter the ground floor. In the living room, built-in shelving frames a contemporary fireplace, sash windows bring in plenty of sunlight and underfloor heating runs throughout.

The social heart of the home unfolds through full-height Crittall glazing. A smooth Imperial Marble waterfall island centres the kitchen, which doubles as a breakfast bar. Bespoke joinery, gilded hardware and hi-spec appliances keeps things sleek and streamlined. Skylights draw daylight deep into the space, illuminating two distinct dining areas: a relaxed banquette and a more formal setting for larger gatherings. Beyond, glazed doors open onto a private tiled patio, extending the living space outside. The utility room brings a playful note, with patterned Little Greene wallpaper.

There’s a distinctly private feel to the principal bedroom suite, nestled at the top of the home. Sash windows and a skylight illuminate the space, while generous integrated wardrobes keep the room uncluttered. The adjoining bathroom is finished with a marble-topped dual vanity and sculptural freestanding bath.

Three further bedrooms occupy the first floor, continuing the home’s pared-back material palette. Each has integrated wardrobes, while one has its own en suite bathroom. The remaining two open through Crittall doors onto a private terrace – a suntrap spot with views down to the floor below through two glazed panels.
