Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
If Beatrix Potter designed a London flat, it might look something like this – patterned fabrics, eclectic artworks and leafy views. The main bedroom is a floral dream, while the twin is perfect for little ones, complete with curtains you can draw across to keep things cosy.

And when you're ready to explore, you’re just a short stroll from Kensington Gardens, Notting Hill and the bustle of Portobello Road.
