In the heart of London's old Dickensian market district, this Notting Hill apartment is certainly a hidden treasure. The home's structure, interiors and antique furniture all share a yesteryear charm, while the modern island kitchen will make knocking up lazy brunches a joy. The owner's clearly thought outside the box when it came to decorating and we love the rustic wooden pieces, quirky adornments and mellow yellow tones as much as we do the original features. Speaking of, with its high period ceilings and shutter windows, natural light floods into the living area, creating a bright and airy spot to show off your day's forgotten finds. While the statement design and old-world objects add interest, the real star of the show here is that all-too-rare of London amenities – an outside space. Surrounded by thriving greenery and ancient tree canopies, the decked terrace is a real sanctuary of calm – perfect for throwing open the shutters, extending the communal space and sipping alfresco drinks on warmer evenings. It's no mean feat creating a place of calm in the middle of lively Notting Hill, but that's exactly what this home does. Return after a lovely day spent exploring the two-mile stretch of colourful terraces, historic pubs and vintage clothing stalls on Portobello Road, under a twenty-minute stroll away, and feel a sense of home-sweet-home in your eclectic yet oh-so cosy digs.
