Colville Terrace’s rows of pastel-fronted townhouses paint a quintessential Notting Hill scene. Contained within one of these buildings – dating back to 1880 – this two-bedroom garden apartment echoes its stylish neighbourhood. Thanks to sophisticated interior design by Zana Maksimovic, the home is layered with soft tones, refined materials and plenty of natural light.
Head down through a private entrance, where a curved wall and terracotta-toned floor tiles make an inviting first impression. Beyond, a long hallway is crafted with bespoke wall panelling, leading through double doors into the open-plan reception room. Here, classic meets contemporary styling: neat ceiling cornicing and an original Victorian fireplace are met with integrated shelving and engineered European rustic oak floors – fitted with underfloor heating.
An additional set of double doors offers a fantastic sense of flow into the kitchen and dining area. Sunlight beams down through three large skylights, gently illuminating the Farrow & Ball ‘Old School White’ walls. When daylight fades, there are designer wall lights to cast a warm glow. The bespoke Ashley Ann kitchen features marble worktops, an undermounted sink and Bosch appliances. Step out through glass doors to the private garden – a spacious al fresco setting that’s ideal for warm-weather entertaining.
Two bedrooms maintain the sense of tranquility. In the principal suite, light is softly filtered through a trio of sash windows, while bespoke floor-to-ceiling wardrobes offer neat storage. In the en suite bathroom, natural marble tiles create a sleek backdrop for the bathtub and sculptural sink. The guest bedroom enjoys its own en suite bathroom and leafy views out to the garden. A separate WC completes the home.
Just moments from Westbourne Grove and Portobello Road, Colville Terrace has enviable proximity to the best offerings of Notting Hill. Grab groceries from Daylesford or Planet Organic before heading to Bodyism for an invigorating workout. Enjoy weekend brunches at Farm Girl or Granger &Co. then wander to the Japanese gardens of Holland Park, just a 15-minute walk away, or the Design Museum. For fine dining, decide between two-Michelin-starred The Ledbury and three-Michelin-starred Core by Clare Smyth. Choose either and be home in five.
