The Hillside House

A five-bedroom Victorian villa with a south-facing garden, original cornicing, and a careful contemporary kitchen extension.

Set in the heart of Notting Hill, this 5-bedroom home has been considered down to the last hinge. The principal rooms run the full depth of the building, holding the light from morning to evening, while the quieter spaces above are arranged for the way a household actually lives rather than the way a floorplan photographs.

Accommodation

5 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms across 3,840 sf of internal space. A double-aspect reception room, a working kitchen built for more than show, and the kind of storage that only an architect who has lived in a real house ever remembers to draw.
