St Stephen’s Gardens VIII, Notting Hill

Description

Tucked away in a traditional Victorian terrace, St Stephen’s Gardens VIII places two guests in the heart of Notting Hill. This celebrated neighbourhood boasts a bohemian buzz, offering eclectic shopping opportunities and cosmopolitan culinary hotspots. While there’s enough in this affluent, central location to keep you occupied for days, you’re just a short walk from Westbourne Park Station, which opens up the wider city.

One of the capital’s most picturesque enclaves, Notting Hill boasts streets of colourful houses, enchanting garden squares, and a particularly good selection of gastro pubs, like The Cow and the Westbourne, just a stone’s throw from St Stephen’s Gardens VIII. Guests are less than a 15-minute walk from the iconic Portobello Road Market, where stalls brim with vintage fashion, arts and crafts, antiques, and curios. Escape the hustle and bustle with leafy strolls beside the canals in Little Venice to the north or head south for quiet moments by the lakes and fountains of the beautifully landscaped Kensington Gardens.

Back at St Stephen’s Gardens VIII, the stylish furniture and contemporary artwork perfectly capture the spirit of the neighbourhood. The home’s open plan living space is bathed in natural light, accentuating the sweeping white walls and high ceilings. Its modish living area invites laid-back evenings, watching a movie with a box of artisanal treats from the local chocolatier. The neat and well-appointed white kitchen has everything you could need to whip up a meal, and there’s a lovely bistro table for intimate suppers, overlooking handsome white stucco townhouses.

Calm and uncluttered, the home’s minimalist bedroom offers plenty of wardrobe space for those who have made their way to the boutiques and designer stores of Kensington High Street. There’s a decadent super king-size bed for cosy nights and an elegant, tiled ensuite with a walk-in shower for refreshing after your latest London adventure.

A modern oasis for two in a highly desirable location, St Stephen’s Gardens VIII places the highlights of Notting Hill right on your doorstep. With excellent transport links to the rest of the city, it’s the perfect base for both business and leisure travellers.
