Aldridge Lodge is an unusual new-build in Notting Hill, designed by YARD Architects within a conservation area. The two-bedroom house sits tucked away within a residential street between Westbourne Grove and Portobello Road. It is currently on the market with Knight Frank for £2.5 million.

Hidden behind a low brick wall, the detached house is largely concealed from the street. Inside, its two main levels open onto a central light well that brings natural sunlight deep into the house.

The upper level contains the kitchen, dining and living spaces, where double-height sections and large panes of glass open views across the central void. Timber-lined ceilings and walls set off the concrete structure and polished-concrete floors.

Downstairs are two bedrooms, both opening onto a private courtyard garden. The bathrooms use Salvatori marble, bespoke vanities and Vola fittings, with a steam shower in the principal suite. Underfloor heating, concealed and app-controlled lighting, integrated Sonos and a security system are built into the house.
