Leamington Road Villas, London W11

An architecturally lead third floor apartment (with entrance on second floor) in a period villa on Leamington Road Villas, W11 arranged as one considered space rather than a conventional flat layout - and topped by a private roof terrace that's rare at this size.

An architecturally lead third floor apartment (with entrance on second floor) in a period villa on Leamington Road Villas, W11 arranged as one considered space rather than a conventional flat layout - and topped by a private roof terrace that's rare at this size.

The reception room runs the full width of the building at over 20ft, with a ceiling height that period conversions of this vintage don't usually offer. The kitchen sits on a raised platform at the far end - a deliberate change of level that gives the room its own identity within the open plan, rather than a wall dividing it off. It's a post-modern move inside a Victorian shell, and it's the kind of detail that photographs flatly but reads immediately in person.

The bedroom is a genuine double at 13'9 x 10'9, with ample storage, en-suite bathroom and its own balcony, giving the sleeping quarters a natural boundary from the reception space.

Above it, a private staircase rises to the fourth floor: A roof terrace of 13'7 x 13ft (approx.), oriented to catch the open aspect over this part of Notting Hill. At nearly 20 sq ft of internal entrance plus the full terrace, it's proper outside space, not a Juliet balcony dressed up in the particulars.
