Set on the upper floor of a historic pub dating back to 1852, this elegant apartment is full of period charm and modern comforts. Nods to the building’s past are seen in the glossy parquet floors, corniced ceilings and large sash windows, while a cool blend of contemporary and antique-style furnishings provides a chic impression of old meets new. Settle yourself into one of the plump armchairs with a glass of wine and a good book or enjoy a meal at the cosy window-side dining nook. The beautiful bedroom is just as lovely with its ornamental fireplace, Paddington views and king-size bed, while the bathroom invites relaxing wake-ups with its rainfall shower. Outside of your home, you’ve got plenty to see and do within easy walking distance. Take a morning stroll through Hyde Park (ten minutes), spend afternoons sampling Little Venice’s waterside cafés (fifteen minutes) and indulge in some retail therapy at Notting Hill’s colourful boutiques (twenty minutes).
