This meticulously renovated two-bedroom townhouse is nestled just off the quiet intersection of Artesian Road and Ledbury Road, in the heart of Westbourne Grove, one of Notting Hill and Londonās most sought-after locations. The property has undergone a stunning transformation, blending open communal areas with more intimate spaces, all while showcasing an exquisite mix of materialsāfrom Dinesen Douglas Fir to polished concrete and pigmented microcement.
Upon entering, youāre welcomed into an open-plan kitchen and dining area, where a clever ceiling design separates the entrance hall with a window wall and archway, allowing light to flood in from the generously sized former shopfront windows. Additional natural light comes from clerestory windows at the rear and a skylight above the study nook, located just beyond the dining space. The kitchen boasts bespoke birch ply cabinetry, terrazzo worktops, and a striking copper wall, while polished concrete floors with underfloor heating extend throughout.
One of the home’s standout features is its spiral staircase, crafted from limed Dinesen Douglas Fir with a recessed handrail of the same material in its natural state. On the first floor, this beautiful fir continues in wide floorboards, while the entire space is open and filled with natural light from both a sash window at the front and French doors at the rear, leading to a Juliette balcony with views over lush neighboring gardens.
The second and third floors are home to the bedrooms. The first bedroom is a spacious double, featuring warm-toned Douglas Fir floorboards and another Juliette balcony with elevated garden views. An en-suite shower room is hidden behind pivoting plywood shutters within a birch ply wall. Inside, pink micro-cement pairs with antique brass fixtures and a cast concrete sink, while a discreet WC is tucked into the corner.
The principal bedroom, located on the top floor, is a cozy retreat within the eaves. Cork flooring adds warmth and comfort, and a miniature log burner provides winter coziness. Custom birch ply cabinetry and bi-fold doors reveal a Corian bathtub framed by a brass panel. A separate door opens to a WC, with natural light streaming in from both sides and a skylight overhead.
