A pretty pink Notting Hill home asks for £2.9m

Fans of Love Actually and Notting Hill can live out their celluloid fantasies at this cobblestone Notting Hill mews on the market via Inigo for £2.9m.

The pretty pink Victorian property on Pembridge Mews dates from 1850. It is part of the Pembridge Conservation area – developed by James Weller Ladbroke following his successful development of Paddington, comprising a mix of mews and grand townhouses. This two-bedroom property originally had stables and carriage storage on the ground floor with living accommodations above. While it’s long been modernised, it still recalls this past equine past with a ground floor that opens entirely onto the cobbled street via French doors.

Those worried about noise or traffic needn’t; this quiet cul-de-sac has no through traffic and views down the entire road length.

Chalk-white walls and pitch pine floors amplify the light inside across the L-shaped London property, which is arranged with a dining room at the front and a sitting room that opens onto the rear courtyard. The kitchen has been renovated with oak veneer cabinetry and quartz slab countertops, bridged by more traditional touches such as a large butler’s sink.

Two en-suite bedrooms can be found up the box staircase, decorated with playful pastoral wallpapers by the Designers’ Guild. The front bedroom has a cast-iron Juliet balcony, while the second has casement windows overlooking leafy gardens.

Speaking of which, the garden has a unique character all of its own, recalling a historic grotto. A stone figure and wall-mounted fountain add a sense of serenity to the planted space.

The Notting Hill home is for sale via Inigo. It’s a stone’s throw from Westbourne Grove and Portobello Road, a favourite of antique hunters, and an abundance of restaurants boasting a cache of Michelin stars such as The Ledbury and Core by Clare Smyth, plus Franklin’s Wine, The Electric Cinema and Sally Clarke Bakery.
