Lined with mature trees and Victorian architecture, Kensington Park Road is one of Notting Hill’s most exclusive addresses. Echoing its refined heritage streetscape, this two-bedroom lateral apartment has been crafted with a classic interior eye. Spread across two terraced townhouses, the home enjoys a spacious footprint and high ceilings – bound by a refined material palette. Ascend to the first floor, where an entrance hallway leads into the welcoming reception room. Pale pink walls stretch upwards to reach clean-line cornicing, smart wood floors run underneath and an elegant fireplace makes for a cosy focal point. The space is bathed in sunlight, courtesy of two full-height shuttered windows. Beyond the glazing, there’s access to a private double balcony – offering space for al fresco entertaining above the peaceful road. Cleverly zoned via a set of steps, the dining room is similarly sun-drenched through large stained-glass windows that look out to leafy vistas. It’s a tranquil setting for entertaining, served by the shaker-style kitchen next door. Here, muted cabinetry and smooth worktops make for a stylish and streamlined culinary setting. Matching the home’s social heart, the principal bedroom suite is all soft tones and reams of natural light, setting a serene canvas for interior creativity. Interior French doors lead into the en suite bathroom, which enjoys a freestanding bath backdropped by full-height stained-glass windows. Completing the home is a guest bedroom and separate bathroom. Sharing the street with some of Notting Hill’s best architecture and most exclusive restaurants – including three-Michelin-star Core by Clare Smyth – Kensington Park Road puts you within easy reach of the neighbourhood’s most coveted spots. It runs parallel to Portobello Road, where bohemian boutiques, bars and market stalls will keep you occupied for hours. Pick up fresh provisions from the Notting Hill Fish Shop, Sally Clarke’s or Daylesford Organic Farm Shop. Head to Westbourne Grove for brunch at Granger & Co. or Beam, or an uplifting workout at Bodyism and Pscyle. Notting Hill Gate 4 mins (Central, Circle & District)
