Colour, character and exceptional proportions define this five-bedroom townhouse on Bedford Gardens, one of Notting Hill’s most desirable residential streets. Arranged across five floors and spanning 2,626 sq ft, the house has a series of generous living spaces, a beautifully planted garden and two balconies. On the raised ground floor, a pair of connecting reception rooms extends from front to back. The front room has a fireplace, built-in shelving and tall sash windows, while the rear reception opens directly onto the garden. Rich paint colours, wooden floors and period features lend the interiors warmth and personality. The lower-ground floor is designed for everyday family life. A large contemporary kitchen centres on an island with breakfast-bar seating, with an adjoining dining area and a further reception room opening onto the garden. Extending approximately 33 ft, the garden is enclosed by mature planting and paved for outdoor dining. A guest cloakroom, patio and cellar complete this level. The principal bedroom occupies much of the first floor, with fitted wardrobes, an ensuite bathroom and two private balconies. A further bedroom and guest cloakroom are also found here. Two bedrooms and a family bathroom lie on the second floor, while the fifth bedroom is tucked beneath the eaves on the top floor. Bedford Gardens runs through the heart of Kensington, within easy reach of the restaurants, cafés and independent shops of Kensington Church Street, Westbourne Grove and Portobello Road. Holland Park and Kensington Gardens are both nearby, while Notting Hill Gate Underground station provides Central, Circle and District line services across London.
