London - Townhouse 5 Bedrooms
Set on one of Notting Hill's most distinguished crescents, this five-bedroom family home is a showcase of contemporary architectural ingenuity. Reimagined by 3W Architects, its classic stucco façade gives way to a bold, modern interior where industrial precision and period detailing exist in perfect harmony. Light and volume define every space, from the elegant reception room with its bespoke slate fireplace and glass wall to the double-height void that floods the lower levels with sunlight. The home's social heart unfolds on the lower-ground floor, where Italian Basaltina stone, Verde Fantastico quartzite and honed Nero granite meet in a striking palette of natural materials. A bespoke Danish kitchen and a dramatic 1960s Vistossi chandelier anchor the open-plan space, complemented by floor-to-ceiling wood-framed windows that frame views of the garden. The rear extension, a feat of engineering, can be mechanically lowered into a basement pit ? an inspired feature that transforms the home for summer entertaining. Upstairs, serenity takes hold. The principal suite spans the entire first floor, blending Wenge wood floors and antique fireplaces with luxurious quartzite finishes in the en suite. A glass roof crowns the upper levels, illuminating four additional bedrooms and three stylish bathrooms. Outside, the private garden offers a secluded oasis ? a verdant, sunlit retreat that completes this masterful balance of heritage and innovation.
