Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Apart from Hyde Parking being right on the doorstep, the Natural History Museum, V&A and the antique markets and bookshops of Notting Hill are all a short stroll away from this apartment. Stepping inside, you can tell the owner is an artist with unique paintings and coffee table books adorning the otherwise minimal living room. The galley kitchen and second bedroom are a little on the small side, but there’s everything you need for self-catering and a peaceful night’s sleep. On the second floor of a typically London-esque Victorian terrace, you’ll need to be comfortable climbing a lot of stairs to reach the entrance.
