Elgin Crescent, London W11

In the heart of Notting Hill, Elgin Crescent is a picture of portico-fronted townhouses with ornate pilasters and bay windows – speaking to a gilded architectural heritage. Contained within one of these whitewashed properties, this two-bedroom lateral apartment brings material warmth and modern sensibility to its period framework.

With its high ceilings and large sash windows, the reception room uplifts as soon as you enter. Whitewashed walls set a minimalist backdrop for mid-century style pieces: A pair of leather armchairs, low-slung sofas and cubic sculptures. Next door, the dining room is bathed in natural light, with a wood dining table and rattan chairs set beneath a glass chandelier. The kitchen features stone worktops and hi-spec appliances, illuminated through a large sash window.

The principal bedroom maintains the sense of calm, with its pale tones, considered artwork and warm wood pieces. It’s served by an en suite bathroom, finished with whitewashed tiles around a bathtub. There’s an eclectic look to the guest bedroom and office, with an array of objets d’art hung amidst the open timber shelving. An additional bathroom and WC complete the home.
