Flat Apartment, Pembridge Villas, London

Recently refurbished and thoughtfully reimagined by Studio Fox, this home on Pembridge Villas pairs a prime Notting Hill setting with a calm, carefully considered aesthetic.

Beyond a skylit entrance, double Crittall doors lead into an open-plan kitchen, dining and reception room, where natural materials and generous light define the space. Walnut cabinetry and Arabescato marble worktops shape the kitchen, which is fitted with integrated Neff appliances and a Quooker tap. A large window frames leafy garden views below.

Positioned between the dining and reception areas, a bespoke bar with a CDA wine cooler encourages entertaining. Overhead, a skylight draws daylight deep into the living area, while sliding doors open onto a full-width balcony lined with Siberian larch planters.

The principal bedroom continues the home’s restrained palette. Pale blush walls sit alongside warm timber cladding, illuminated by light from sliding doors leading to the balcony. Through an arched opening, floor-to-ceiling wardrobes connect to an en suite bathroom finished with terracotta Claybrook tiles and a walk-in shower screened with glass blocks.

Wood flooring extends into the guest bedroom, where neutral tones and natural light create a similarly tranquil atmosphere. Its en suite bathroom is finished in cream Claybrook tiles, with a roof light above enhancing the serene, spa-like feel.

Just a short walk away from the heart of Notting Hill, an easy sense of tranquillity defines Pembridge Villas. Start the day with breakfast or brunch at Farm Girl, then stroll along Portobello Road to browse the vintage stores and antique stalls. Stop by Zephyr for a Grecian inspired lunch, picking up groceries from Daylesford Organic on the way back home. For a relaxed evening out, head to the Electric Cinema, then relish late night drinks at Gold.
