2 bed Flat For Sale £1,650,000
Colville Terrace, London, W11

Set in a quintessential stucco-fronted townhouse, classic design and an extended footprint bring this garden-level apartment up-to-date. Accessed via its own front door, a considered layout maximises the space available.

Configured for inside-out living, concertina doors completely dissolve the boundary between the open-plan kitchen and reception room, and the south-facing garden. Above, two huge skylights invite more natural light inside, creating an uplifting atmosphere. Herringbone floors and a neutral colour palette tie the room together. Shaker-style cabinets, brass hardware and a marble splashback bring a smart, polished finish to the kitchen, while integrated appliances – including a wine fridge – take care of the practicalities. The seating area is similarly well configured, with a custom-made shelving and TV unit.

Both bedrooms are understated and inviting. To the front, the principal comes with floor-to-ceiling wardrobes and a sleek en suite shower room. Accessed from the hallway, a sunken, taupe-toned bathroom serves the second bedroom, which overlooks the garden and its standout studio. A highlight of the home, the studio has its own WC and kitchenette. An ideal gym or home office, bi-fold doors open onto the lawn and patio, making this a practical space for all weathers.

For added convenience and storage, two demised vault rooms are found by the entrance to the property.

A stone’s throw from lively Portobello Road, Colville Terrace has the best of Notting Hill on the doorstep. Start the day with a invigorating workout at Bodyism, a coffee at Daylesford Organic or a run around Hyde or Holland Park. Pick up lunch supplies from Ottolenghi, antiques from Portobello Road Market and wardrobe staples from the fashion boutiques of Westbourne Grove. For high-end dining, choose between two-Michelin-starred The Ledbury and three-Michelin-starred Core by Clare Smyth. Or for a cosier evening, catch a film at the Electric Cinema followed by a nightcap at The Walmer Castle.
