2 bed flat for sale

Hereford Road, London W2

Just north of Notting Hill’s popular thoroughfare, this two-bedroom maisonette unfolds across the lower levels of a period terrace. From the entrance, the house leads naturally towards its greatest asset: A generous west-facing garden at the rear.

Wooden floors run from the entrance hall through the lower level, where the house opens out into one long, sociable sequence of spaces. The kitchen makes an immediate impression. White shaker cabinetry is paired with a veined black stone, its dramatic markings sweeping across the worktop and splashback. A breakfast bar and built-in wine fridge keep things practical; beyond, the reception room settles around the chimney breast, with fitted shelving tucked neatly to either side. Garden doors bring the dining area into the picture, while an olive-green run of joinery creates a compact home office just beyond.

Then the house gives way to the garden. Steel-framed doors fold back and steps rise to a generous west-facing patio, where mature planting softens the edges beneath the canopy of a towering tree. There’s space to dine and lounge, with a gate at the far end opening onto the mews.

Upstairs are two double bedrooms, each with a distinct outlook. The principal bedroom turns towards the greenery at the rear, quiet and tucked away. To one side, fitted wardrobes create a dedicated dressing area, while an en suite shower room lies opposite. The second bedroom faces the front: A marble fireplace and original cornicing lend character, balanced by fitted wardrobes. A family bathroom completes the floor, finished in marbled tiling.

Just minutes from Westbourne Grove, the beating heart of Notting Hill, the best of the neighbourhood is at your doorstep. Pick up an early coffee from Beam or sit down for a late morning brunch at Sunday in Brooklyn or Granger & Co. The lively thrum of Portobello Road vaunts antique stalls and vintage shops, with rows of luxury boutiques along Westbourne Grove lining your walk there. End the day with a visit to Gold for drinks, or head to three Michelin-star restaurant Core by Clare Smyth.
