Flat Apartment, Aldridge Road Villas, London

Aldridge Road Villas runs quietly through Notting Hill, a short walk from Portobello and the garden squares that give the neighbourhood its calm. Set across the upper floors of the villa, this apartment turns the usual order on its head: bedrooms below, and a broad open-plan living floor above.

The living space encompasses a single open stretch, close to thirty feet long and bright with light. Windows to either end pull the sun indoors throughout the day, with room to cook, dine and socialise in easy sequence. The kitchen wears deep navy shaker cabinetry and solid oak worktops, set alongside white metro tiles and integrated appliances. A wall of exposed brick runs through to the sitting area, arranged before an ornate fireplace.

On the lower level sit two double bedrooms. The principal is calm and restrained, complete with a walk-in wardrobe. A considered en suite sits alongside, fitted with a roll-top tub and stained-glass window. The second is backdropped by painted brick and fitted wardrobes, looking onto the leafy street through the sash window. Its en suite is restrained in white metro tile, with a bathtub and overhead shower.

Within strolling distance of Golborne Road and Portobello Market, Aldridge Road Villas is moments away from the best of Notting Hill. Spend the weekends browsing the antiques and food stalls, or walk along the canal to Little Venice, picking up supplies from Golborne Deli & Wine Store on the way back. You’re spoilt for choice for dining options here – Dorian, The Ledbury and Caractère are all on the doorstep. Offering live music nights and lazy Sunday movies, complete your evening at neighbourhood staple, The Pelican. Ideal for families, the home is situated within an excellent catchment area for renowned schools.
