Light-Filled Interiors in a Grand Early Victorian House in Notting Hill
On a wide, tree-lined road in the popular Notting Hill area of London stands this stucco-fronted early Victorian house, featuring serene, light interior spaces that highlight the building’s original features.
The house was built in 1850, and the interior spaces are divided over five storeys, totalling 2,800 sq ft of living space. The interiors are simple and light, featuring chalky white walls and fumed oak floorboards paired with original elements like intricate plasterwork and box sash windows.
The ground floor is home to an open-plan living space of 36 feet, featuring a kitchen, dining room, and an informal sitting area.
The kitchen is set at the front of the plan, featuring light bespoke paneled cabinets paired with brass fittings and a stainless steel countertop.
Wide doorways connect the three living spaces on this floor, letting the natural light flow through the area from two directions and creating a social atmosphere.
A dining room is set between the kitchen and the sitting room. A simple white table is paired with classic wishbone chairs and a large tapestry.
A small and cozy sitting room with large skylights and glass doors leading to the garden sits at the back of the ground floor plan. The sitting area is centered around a marble fireplace flanked by built-in bookshelves.
The private, walled garden is mainly paved with charcoal bricks and has been planted with magnolia, fragrant jasmine, and hydrangeas, along with a mature silver birch.
The lower ground floor was created in recent years. It features a large television room paired with a home office, a utility space, and a small bedroom. You can also access the garden from this room.
The largest room on the first floor has been turned into another sitting room, featuring high ceilings with stucco, a stunning marble fireplace, and tall sash windows opening to a Juliet balcony.
The room is centered around a pretty French-style Carrara marble fireplace.
Pocket doors lead to the master bedroom and the en-suite bathroom.
A few steps down from the master bedroom lies the en-suite bathroom with a freestanding clawfoot bath, a separate shower, and nickel-plated brassware. The room is painted in a soft pink hue, which is paired with white scallop tiles.
The second and third floors are home to three more bedrooms, a bathroom, and a small space on the half landing that can also be turned into a bedroom.
The top-floor bathroom features a large skylight, sky-blue shower tiles, and Moroccan-style floor tiles.
The house is listed for £5,500,000 at Inigo.
