Quieter than its Notting Hill and Kensington neighbours, there’s a peaceful feel to Holland Park. With the area’s namesake green space just down the road, this apartment enjoys tree-lined surroundings.
Found on the first floor of an Italianate white-stucco villa, interior design by Gilly Foulds and Amanda Fisher of Completion is elegant – think chandeliers, gilded mirrors and bespoke cabinetry that feels at home within its period setting. Original features elevate the open-plan living room and kitchen; huge sash windows stretch from the floor to the cornicing-trimmed ceiling, while a carved wood fireplace provides a focal point.
This is a space that both looks good and functions well. Custom-made bookcases encompass a library (complete with a rolling ladder) and a mini bar area, while pocket doors conceal a streamlined but well-equipped kitchen. Enjoy the results of your culinary endeavours at the eight-seater dining table – or leave it with us to organise a private chef. Afterwards, unwind on the George Smith leather sofa among the colourful Emma J Shipley cushions.
Towards the back of the home, the bedroom has a green outlook. Fold back the shutters to leafy views; pale blue tones contribute to the calming atmosphere, and fitted wardrobes offer ample space for any retail therapy at The Village at Westfield London. The en suite bathroom means you can step straight from your bed to the walk-in shower. There’s also an additional cloakroom off the living space for convenience.
