Flat Apartment, Colville Gardens, London

Situated on the upper three floors of an imposing Victorian conversion, this four-bedroom apartment enjoys generous volumes and an abundance of natural light. Functionality is prioritised in the living spaces, which flow seamlessly into one another. High ceilings and a grand bay window elevate the dimensions, while cream walls and dark wooden flooring create an understated backdrop. An integrated shelving unit runs the entire length of the space and makes a feature of the chimney breasts and alcoves, offering valuable storage.

A wide opening separates the reception and dining room, where there’s space to accommodate a large table. The adjoining kitchen is considered, pairing glossy cabinets and surfaces with integrated appliances. A south-west facing balcony invites more light inside.

Occupying the entire fifth floor, the principal bedroom suite is expansive. A six-metre-wide terrace adds to the footprint. It faces east, making it the perfect morning spot to watch Notting Hill spring to life. A dressing area takes care of the practicalities, while the marble-wrapped en suite adds a touch of luxury, complete with a bathtub and separate shower. On the floor below find a bedroom that’s currently set up as a gym with an en suite bathroom, plus a third bedroom served by a sleek shower room. There’s also a convenient study.
