Lying at the end of a quiet cobbled mews just off Portobello Road, this striking red-brick house brings together industrial architecture and refined contemporary design across three beautifully considered floors. With a double garage, sculptural steel detailing and a rare sense of privacy for such a central W11 address, it feels both urban and quietly cocooned.
The home is arranged on an inverted plan, with its main living spaces on the upper floor to maximise light and views. Up here, the open-plan kitchen, dining and reception room has a loft-like feel, defined by whitewashed beams, exposed brick and concrete, and generous expanses of glazing.
Smooth, grey-toned cabinetry frames integrated appliances and a large stainless-steel fridge, while Velux and clerestory windows wash the space in daylight from above. A glazed corridor leads through to the main reception room, where pale timber floors and three walls of full-height glass create a dramatic connection to the roof terrace beyond.
Outside, the terrace is designed as an extension of the living space, with integrated bench seating, a wood-fired oven and planted succulents softening the red-brick chimney and steel balustrades. It is an easy, sociable space, equally suited to summer dinners or evening drinks against the skyline.
On the floor below, a sliding black steel-framed door opens to a quieter reception room or study, anchored by an exposed-brick fireplace. The principal bedroom suite sits alongside, conceived as a calm, minimalist space with whitewashed walls, abundant natural light and an ensuite bathroom with freestanding bath and rainfall shower. Two further bedrooms on this level are served by a family-sized bathroom finished in soft marble tones.
A sculptural open-tread staircase with glass balustrades leads down to the ground floor, where a second kitchen, two bedroom suites and an additional shower room create the option of a self-contained studio or guest apartment. A double garage sits neatly at the front of the house, completing the sense of flexibility and privacy that runs throughout the property.
Vernon Yard is quietly positioned just moments from the colour and energy of Portobello Road and the boutiques and cafés of Westbourne Grove. From vintage markets and artisan food shops to Electric Cinema, Gold and Core by Clare Smyth, this part of Notting Hill offers one of London's most characterful neighbourhoods, all on your doorstep, yet tucked discreetly out of sight when you come home.
