Chesterton Road, London W10

There's a relaxed, collected spirit to this lateral garden-level apartment. At the base of a white stucco Victorian terrace, steps descend to a planted lightwell and the home’s private entrance. Inside, living plays out in one easy line: From a shuttered bay window, through the kitchen and a glass-roofed dining room, out onto the terrace.

The reception room serves a calm first impression. Shutters filter the light through the window, cornicing traces the ceiling and a stone fire surround gives the room its focal point. A galley kitchen follows, fitted with cream Shaker-style cabinetry and grey-veined marble worktops. A range cooker, open shelving and a built-in wine rack keep things practical, while smoked-glass pendants and an antiqued mirror soften the light. At the far end, the ceiling opens up into glass. Under it sits a skylit dining room, with folding doors that let occasions spill out to the terrace.
This is the home’s real draw: A paved private garden enclosed in whitewashed brick, with space for an outdoor sofa, table and plenty of planters.

The bedroom enjoys direct garden access, painted a deep, forest green. A dedicated dressing room is lined with wardrobes; built-in shelving in the bedroom offers additional storage space. The bathroom sticks to a classic look: Metro tiles, a hexagonal mosaic floor, a roll-top tub and a rainfall shower.

Chesterton Road sits where Notting Hill meets North Kensington, between Ladbroke Grove and the northern stretch of Portobello Road. Golborne Road is a short walk away, with its Portuguese cafés, weekend market stalls and Trellick Tower rising over it all. Portobello's antiques and Saturday market are a short walk south, and Kensington Memorial Park is close by for green space. Ladbroke Grove station is a few minutes' walk and connects quickly across west and central London.

Ladbroke Grove – 5 mins
Westbourne Park – 12 mins
