House, Westbourne Park Road, London

Catching the eye on a curved corner plot along a quiet stretch of Westbourne Park Road, this stucco-fronted townhouse reinterprets a heritage footprint through a modern lens. Behind its portico entrance, five expansive floors unfold – shaped by the building’s distinctive footprint – with clean-lines, cool-toned materials and plenty of outdoor space.

There’s an uplifting first impression to the home, with sliding pocket doors that open into a capacious double reception room. Pale engineered parquet floors run underfoot, while whitewashed walls stretch up high to the intricate ceiling cornicing. A pair of large shuttered sash windows filter reams of natural light throughout the space, highlighting the floor-to-ceiling library shelving that wraps around the room.

Beyond, an archway introduces an elegant, more intimate living space, where botanical motifs soften the scheme. Full-height French windows open onto a sunlit terrace, with a cast-iron staircase descending to a private patio garden. Framed by climbing greenery, it’s tailor-made for summertime entertaining.

The home’s social heart is spread across the first floor – a welcoming, open-plan kitchen, dining and living room. A trio of floor-to-ceiling sash windows illuminate the space, which has a streamlined feel across a minimalist grey fireplace, open shelving and integrated spotlighting. The galley kitchen is zoned beyond, showcasing an industrial aesthetic edge with its stainless steel cabinetry and hi-spec appliances.

Calm and considered, the principal bedroom suite continues the home’s pared-back interior persuasion. Mirrored wardrobes amplify light and provide generous storage, with a refined en suite bathroom featuring a bathtub and concealed rainfall shower.

Three further bedrooms span the upper floors, each bright and voluminous, served by a family bathroom. On the lower-ground level, a self-contained studio offers flexibility, complete with its own kitchen, reception space, bedroom and bathroom — ideal for guests or staff.

Springboarding you to the best of Notting Hill. Westbourne Park Road is just minutes from the vibrant thoroughfare of Portobello Market, with its antiques shops and weekly food market – plus London’s oldest working picture house, the iconic Electric Cinema. Wellness is prioritised throughout the neighbourhood, from workouts at Soulcycle, Barrecore and Bodyism, to organic produce at Ben’s, Daylesford and Notting Hill Fish + Meat shop. Come evening, you’re spoilt for choice when it comes to fine dining and gastropub fare: The Ledbury, The Pelican and The Cow are all within easy strolling distance from your front door.
