This stylish home boasts an excellent location in North Kensington, close to Notting Hill and Portobello Road Market. It’s on a quiet tree-lined avenue with pubs, cafes, and two Tube stations within walking distance. The house is spread over three floors and has a garden, so there’s plenty of space here to stretch out. We love the open-plan living and dining space, with its contemporary decor and breezy layout. The bedrooms are comfortable, and two of them have en-suite bathrooms. You’ll have everything you need here for a London break.
