Our mews house is a beautiful architect designed family home in Notting Hill where we live with our two children. This is very much a loved home full of character and interesting artifacts from around the world and is light, airy and comfortable. (The house has high ceilings which are not common for a mews house.)
A newly refurbished property over three floors (2640 square feet) with all the facilities one could wish for. The house is in a safe and quiet conservation area in a private, gated cobbled mews, a convenient seven minute walk to the bustling Portobello Road where the famous Portobello Antiques Market takes place on Saturday mornings, the daily open air market where you can buy fresh flowers and food, and loads of trendy restaurants and cafés, just like the film Notting Hill depicted.
Ladbroke Grove Underground station is only 7 minutes walk away and there’s a frequent bus service within a 2 minute walk that takes you to Oxford Street and the West End, (London’s theater district). A nearby bus service will take you to the famous City of Oxford in only one hour.
The ground level of the house has an oak floored open living, dining and kitchen space with a Pantry and Utility / Laundry room. Under-floor heating throughout and a wood burning stove make it warm and inviting. It has a well-equipped hi spec kitchen with a professional range cooker, American style fridge/freezer (with ice maker) and separate wine fridge. The double height dining area has a long glass topped contemporary table with Eames dining chairs and an open fireplace.
The first floor has two bedrooms, (one with a King-size bed and the other with a double bed), a bathroom (a “wet room” with under-floor heating, a great rain shower, classic roll top bath and heated towel rail), a TV room with satellite TV and a DVD, (with an extensive collection of DVD’s for those “stay at home” days when you’re walked off your feet) and of course WiFi.
The second floor comprises a master suite with a King-size bed, bathroom, (also a “wet room” with under-floor heating, shower, roll top bath and heated towel rail), a dressing room and a further bedroom with a small double bed (3’6”) and a crib / cot.
A peaceful place to escape London's hustle and bustle.
