London - Apartment 3 Bedrooms
In the heart of residential Notting Hill, Chepstow Crescent is lined with handsome heritage properties and leafy trees. Behind an immaculate façade and portico entryway, this three-bedroom townhouse spans four spacious storeys, layered with considered artwork, bespoke furnishings and hi-tech appliances. Decorated by acclaimed designer Jonathan Reed, the home has an enduring creative pedigree, balancing period character with a distinctly contemporary sensibility. A large Crittall window separates the entrance hall from the open-plan kitchen and dining room, where banquette seating curves around a breakfast table beneath an oversized sash window, while a wood-burning stove sits against an earthy-toned metro-tile wall. The kitchen is centred by a crackle-glazed ceramic island by celebrated French ceramicists Pyrolave, with warm wood worktops and appliances by Miele, Sub-Zero, Wolf and Quooker. At the far end, the dining room takes on a calmer character, with neutral tones and wall-to-wall Crittall windows opening onto a private balcony and lushly planted garden, framed by hydrangeas, olive trees and roses. Occupying the entire first floor, the double reception room celebrates the period proportions of the house, with a pair of sash windows, marble fireplace and floor-to-ceiling pendant lights. Bold prints and paintings sit alongside Rose Uniacke and Roche Bobois sofas, while French doors open onto a private, trellis-screened terrace. Above, the principal bedroom suite occupies the entire second floor, with warm-toned walls, carpeted floors and full-height timber wardrobes concealing a hidden television. The en suite is finished with a sculptural Water Monopoly bathtub, bespoke dual vanity and glass-framed shower. On the lower ground floor, two guest suites each bring their own distinctive mood. One pairs an earthy-toned scheme with warm lamplight, an en suite bathroom and canary-yellow freestanding bathtub against feature metro tiling; the other is wrapped in botanical wallpaper that echoes the garden beyond, with French windows opening directly onto a private terrace.
