2 bed flat for sale

Durham Terrace, London W2

Light, flow and everyday ease are prioritised at this two-floor home, tucked away on one of Notting Hill’s calmer terraces. Fully transformed in 2024 – marking its first major renovation in more than three decades – there’s now a quietly modern sensibility that ensues throughout. Think natural materials, pops of colour and considered joinery that shapes the everyday experience.

Stripped back and rebuilt throughout, this home is turnkey in the truest sense. Living spaces unfold across the lower level, where traditional sash windows – now double glazed – draw afternoon sun across the reception room. Rustic oak floors run underfoot into the brand-new kitchen and dining area, anchored by bespoke sage green cabinetry and quartz worktops. A built-in banquette doubles as hidden storage: An easy setting for meals and hosting. Elsewhere, the home opens out to a small private terrace – a quiet perch for morning coffee or cocktails in summer.

Upstairs, the landing is washed in a dusty blush tone – chosen to echo the red hues of the original bannister, a preserved period feature that threads through the home. The principal bedroom is soothing in soft hues, with wool carpet, bespoke storage and an en suite bathroom inspired by travels in Morocco. The second bedroom is equally considered, served by a neighbouring shower room.

Works completed in the home’s renovation – a head to toe transformation – include a new kitchen and bathrooms, replacement appliances, upgraded electrics and radiators, improved insulation, a new roof and windows.

Tucked away in a peaceful corner of Notting Hill, this duplex offers a sense of sanctuary while remaining moments from the vibrancy of Notting Hill. Westbourne Grove is lined with upmarket brunch spots, from Beam to Granger & Co. Head over to the manicured expanses of Kensington Gardens for long walks, before stocking up groceries at Daylesford Organic or Notting Hill Meat + Fish shop. For an evening steeped in atmosphere, settle into a velvet armchair at The Electric Cinema, followed by a drink at your beloved local – The Cow.
