2 bed Flat For Sale £1,095,000
Westbourne Gardens, Bayswater, Westminster, W2

From the raised ground floor of an end-of-terrace townhouse, this two-bedroom apartment amplifies the peace and quiet of the residential streets outside. Behind its Georgian exterior, complete with cast-iron railings and a portico-fronted entrance, this lateral home is a lesson in contemporary minimalism.

The open-plan kitchen and reception room is all whitewashed walls and pale wood floors, with high ceilings featuring original cornicing. The form-meets-function kitchen is characterised by handleless cabinets, integrated appliances and mirrored splashbacks. A large window is crafted with seating, making for a relaxed dining setting that overlooks the communal gardens – to which the home has access to.

The principal bedroom is a calming setting, with ivy-green walls and a full-height sash window. Its en suite bathroom commands attention with a frameless shower wrapped in oversized parquet tiles. The second bedroom, with its soft tones and south-facing oversized window, is served by a family bathroom. An independent storage area in the hall completes this streamlined city home.

Westbourne Gardens is a stone’s throw away from the boutiques, cafés and restaurants of Westbourne Grove – the artery that connects much of Notting Hill. Favoured brunch spots include Beam and Granger & Co.; for wellness and workouts, Bodyism and Psycle are your go-to. A fifteen-minute walk takes you to Hyde Park, with the Serpentine Lido set for morning swims. Spend an evening at the Electric Cinema followed by a meal at Core by Clare Smyth or Gold.
