Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
The bare bones of this home – the high ceilings, sash windows, large balcony, and fireplace – are enough to make it a great addition to our collection. On top of this raw potential it’s been beautifully styled, with luxurious vintage furniture and an eclectic art collection. We think this home would be a great fit for a couple looking to be in a quiet spot that’s close to some more busy, trendy areas. Nearby Ladbroke Grove boasts lively bars and restaurants that cater to all tastes, and you’re also right by Portobello Road and Notting Hill.
