A Contemporary Two-Bedroom Townhouse with a Paneled Master Suite
Tucked away on a quiet residential street in Notting Hill lies a two-bedroom, four-story home that perfectly encapsulates the quiet sophistication of its designer, architect Samuel Chisholm.
Thoughtfully reimagined for contemporary life, the home is a study in balance. In this London townhouse, tactile craftsmanship meets a serene, spacious calm.
Step inside, and a warm flow of light greets you immediately. The semi-open hall, kitchen, and dining area set the tone for the home’s modern sensibility. Birch-ply shutters are placed in front of the windows.
Built-in wardrobes are fitted into the wall next to the front door. The arched niche in the white-painted brick wall is fitted with a mirror and an antique cabinet.
The kitchen pairs birch ply cabinets with a terrazzo countertop and a copper backsplash.
The kitchen space is a beautiful blend of warm tones, like the wood and the copper, and cooler elements, like the concrete floor and the white-painted brick.
Behind the kitchen lies a small alcove that can be used as a reading nook or a home office. It is lit by a skylight and high windows.
At the core of the home stands a sculptural staircase, inspired by Swiss architect Adolphe Appia. It’s a beautiful statement piece with an illuminated balustrade and Dinesen Douglas fir treads offering warmth and rhythm as it rises through the house.
The first-floor living room is light and fresh, featuring glass doors that open to a Juliet balcony.
The room features a green Le Bambole sofa designed by Mario Belini.
The master bedroom, nestled beneath the eaves, channels a quiet, alpine charm. Blonde timber paneling, cork flooring, and a compact log burner infuse the space with natural warmth and a sense of restoration.
Behind a set of concertina doors, the en-suite bathroom awaits, a tranquil escape featuring a bath beneath a dormer window and a milled brass panel that glows in soft, golden light.
The second bathroom is finished in dusty pink microcement with brushed brass fittings, adding a note of quiet luxury.
The guest bedroom is painted in a warm yellow shade and also features a Juliet balcony.
The house is listed for £2,000,000 at Aucoot.
