Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
To paraphrase Phil and Kirsty, the UK's choosiest home hunters, it's all about location. You want a London bolthole with the convenience of being close to a mainline Tube station, but you can't stand the usual accompaniment of traffic noise? Well, this home has got you covered. No more than a two-minute walk from Notting Hill Gate and located on a quiet residential street – this ground-floor flat ticks all the boxes. While the entrance is relatively unassuming, everything is sweetness and light once you're through the front door. The interior is a triumph of style from top to bottom, and there are some charming touches, such as the House of Hackney curtains in the living area and art deco furnishings. You also have the bonus of some outdoor space, a patio outside of the master bedroom. A quick reality check – it is connected to the neighbour's patio, so it's only partially private, but it's still a lovely place to enjoy your morning coffee.

About Notting Hill
Notting Hill is much loved by residents and visitors alike and it's not hard to see why.

Good food, antiques shops and bars aplenty, you won't easily get bored in this part of town. Portobello Road itself does get...

Shiny blue tiles and a sunny courtyard, this is definitely a feel good café. Delicious, nutritious superfoods are on the menu but don’t let the healthiness put you off.
Shop the boutiques on Westbourne Grove
With a multitude of shops to choose from, the utterly fashionable Westbourne Grove and Ledbury Road have everything from chic lifestyle boutiques to big designer names like Diane Von Furstenberg.
Catch a play at the Gate Theatre
This intimate venue above the Prince Albert Pub is one of London's smallest but best off-West End theatres specialising in foreign drama. Buy a pint from the pub and head upstairs to find your seat.
Stroll around Hyde Park
One of Europe's greatest inner city parks and just a short stroll away. This majestic park keeps the seasons and the beating heart of London with O2 and tradition. Walk, run, row, read, sit.
Pay a visit to Café Diana
This casual, memorabilia-filled café serving everything from Full English Brekkies to Falafel and Halloumi wraps pays tribute to the late Princess who use to visit the establishment.
Have a moment of Zen in Holland Park
Head to the most manicured garden in London - ideal for an afternoon stroll. Within Holland Park, you'll also find the beautiful Kyoto Garden for your daily meditation.
Shop like a local at Notting Hill Farmer's Market
This well-kept secret hidden behind Waterstone’s car park is a great spot to join the locals on Saturdays for a colourful selection of fresh fruits & veg, fish and other seasonal delights.
Head for Venetian delights at Polpo
One of the best Italian restaurants in London, along with Polpo in Soho. Cured meats, perfect pasta, and meatballs that will send you into cloud nine.
Have a pint at London’s most colourful pub
Literally covered from top to bottom in billowing flowers of every colour, it’s easy to forget that the Churchill Arms is also a great pub. Grab a pint & soak up almost 300 years of drinking history.
Catch a film at Electric Cinema
Not your average cinema: think large, comfy red velvet armchairs, front row beds for cosy couples, an Edwardian Baroque-style interior & cocktails delivered to your chair. Sound like a plan?
