An impressive top-floor maisonette occupying four levels of a pastel stucco townhouse in the heart of Notting Hill. At approximately 1,907 sq ft this three-bedroom home feels more like a house: high-ceilinged reception rooms, period cornicing, elegant fireplaces and long windows provide abundant natural light and a sense of grandeur. The principal bedroom occupies the whole top floor and opens onto a south-facing roof terrace with wide rooftop views.
The layout suits a growing family or buyers seeking spacious central-London living: a formal first-floor reception with balconies, an open-plan kitchen/dining on the second floor, two bedrooms with a family bathroom on the third, and a large principal suite with en-suite on the fourth. A second south-facing terrace and multiple first-floor balconies extend living space outdoors during warmer months. Interiors are presented in good condition and blend traditional detail with contemporary fittings.
Location is a major draw: moments from Portobello Road, local shops and restaurants, with Notting Hill Gate and Ladbroke Grove stations within walking distance. Excellent local schools include Ofsted-outstanding Colville Primary and nearby secondary options, making the area particularly appealing for families. Fast broadband and strong mobile signal support modern working patterns.
For full disclosure: the flat is a share of freehold with about 84 years remaining on the lease, and an annual service charge of around £2,860. Council tax is described as quite expensive. The building’s solid brick construction likely lacks cavity insulation and the double glazing dates from before 2002, which may affect thermal performance. Crime statistics are above the national average for the area; purchasers should consider this when assessing security and insurance costs.
