2 bed flat for sale

Linden Gardens, London W2

On a quiet cul-de-sac moments north of Notting Hill Gate, this raised ground floor apartment impresses beyond its façade. Recently renovated throughout, generous proportions have been paired with a contemporary hand.

The reception room is an impressive introduction: Soaring ceilings, original intricate cornicing and a sweeping bay window that lends a remarkable sense of volume. Engineered oak floors run underfoot, while a fluted gas-fired fireplace forms the focal piece. The kitchen leads directly off, arranged as a streamlined galley in graphite handleless joinery. Veined stone sweeps up from the worktop as a full-height splashback, artfully lit via the cabinets above. Miele appliances are integrated throughout.

A fluted opening frames the view down the hall, where both bedrooms sit to the rear. The principal is finished in soft sage with panelled shutters, a wall of fitted wardrobes and a bioethanol fireplace. The second bedroom is bright, and opens through French doors onto a balcony of ornate ironwork, with steps down to the garden below. A family bathroom and separate shower room serve both, alongside a guest cloakroom and a utility room with a washer and dryer.

Beyond, the shared garden stretches to more than sixty-five feet: Lawn, stone terrace and mature planting framed by brick walls. Though not demised with the apartment, it’s shared with the lower ground floor flat alone.

A stone’s throw from Notting Hill Gate, West London is your oyster at Linden Gardens. Mornings here start with a run in Kensington Gardens followed by coffee from Kuro. Hit Portobello Road before the weekend crowds for brunch at Farm Girl and a browse of the market stalls. Peruse the latest releases at Daunt Books or explore the Serpentine Gallery – both in easy reach of your front door. The vast lawns of Hyde Park are a few minutes’ away, a year-round setting for weekend strolls. In the evening, choose between local favourites Mazi and Gold for dinner, or head to The Hillgate for drinks.
