27 Linden Gardens

NOTTING HILL | W2

The conversion of a traditional Victorian townhouse into four exceptional, two and three bedroom apartments.

27 Linden Gardens is a traditional Victorian townhouse, re-imagined into four apartments that feature generous and well-proportioned living spaces with front-to-back views. Located in the Pembridge Conservation area on a sought-after tree lined cul-de-sac in the heart of Notting Hill, the property is a reminder of London’s proud architectural heritage. Behind this enviable façade, the property has been extended, remodelled and renovated, restoring the splendour it once enjoyed with inspiring design and contemporary interiors.

A pleasing advantage of buildings from this era, the exceptionally high ceilings are enhanced by fine period cornice work and decorative ceiling roses which provide the backdrop to modern interiors. Equipped with a range of high specification fittings and the latest technology, these apartments are the perfect place to entertain and unwind. Whilst the façade of the building has been restored in-keeping with the surrounding conservation area, the inclusion of a passenger lift provides the modern conveniences a development of this calibre deserves.

History & Pembridge Conservation Area

Originally built as a single residence for a wealthy Victoria family, many period features have been retained or replicated including cornicing, ceiling roses, skirting and architraves. The existing attractive exterior has been restored in line with its origins and with the architecture of the exterior.

Living Spaces

Each living space has been considered for open-plan living with entire front-to-back vistas through the innovative use of glass walling and balustrading allowing natural light to flood through. Thoughtfully designed spaces with Rako mood lighting and a Sonos-friendly multi-room speaker system create a relaxing and peaceful sanctuary whilst also providing an opportunity for a fantastic entertaining space for both friends and family.

Kitchens

Beautifully designed with the award-winning kitchen designer Roundhouse, the bespoke open-plan kitchens feature Gaggenau, Siemens and Liebherr appliances, perfectly complemented by Silestone worktops. A bronze mirrored splashback adorns Apartment 1 with a herringbone tiled splashback to Apartment 4. The cabinetry consists of a combination of matt lacquered doors finished in Farrow and Ball “Manor House Gray” balanced with a “Driftwood” island and wall units in Apartment 1 and “Driftwood” wall units to Apartment 4.

Bedrooms

The generous bedroom suites provide space to relax and unwind; Apartment 1 features two master suites both with ensuite bathrooms and dressing rooms, while the master to Apartment 4 has a luxurious feel with a dressing area leading to the ensuite bathroom. All wardrobes are supplied and fitted by Neatsmith.

Bathrooms

Luxurious and contemporary bathrooms feature Catalano basins, Zucchetti brassware and Clearwater freestanding baths that are eye-catching focal points. All bathrooms and shower rooms are fully tiled and feature marble-effect porcelain tiles laid in a herringbone arrangement.

Notting Hill has always been regarded as one of the most cinematic districts of London, with residents of 27 Linden Gardens being well placed to enjoy all that the coveted W2 postcode has to offer.

Vibrant Westbourne Grove acts as the heartbeat of the area, renowned for its distinctive café lifestyle, bohemian style bakeries, designer boutiques and fashionable jewellers. Furthermore, the world famous Portobello Road is lined with leading antique stores and a bustling market, providing the ideal way to spend a weekend afternoon.

An abundance of international cuisine surrounds Notting Hill and nearby Kensington, from fine dining in Michelin starred restaurants to some of London’s best brunches. With the open green spaces of Kensington Gardens and Holland Park, or cultural attractions, including The Gate Theatre and acclaimed Calken Gallery just a short stroll away, residents will never be far from finding motivating and engaging venues to fulfil their interests and needs.

Cafés & Brunch

Complementing Notting Hill’s weaving streets of Victorian architecture are an abundance of eclectic cafes and bistros, with Granger & Co. in particular serving up one of the capital’s most popular brunches. Mazi’s authentic greek menu, Daylesford’s seasonal organic plates and the unique ambience of the Farm Girl Café provide a selection of the local best.

Restaurants & Fine Dining

An array of international cuisine surrounds the area including leading Michelin starred restaurants such as the Ledbury and Clarke’s. For a taste of exquisite British cuisine, Hereford Road’s impressive dailychanging menu and the intimate Marianne are two of Notting Hill’s most captivating.

Boutiques

Renowned for being one of London’s finest shopping districts, Notting Hill has a wide selection of stylish and sophisticated boutiques by local and international designers. Nearby Kensington High Street further cements the area’s appeal with more commercially minded fashion, restaurants and entertainment.

Culture & Lifestyle

This once bohemian area and its richly cultivated creative reputation provides an impressive selection of inspirational arts and cultural attractions. With engaging live performance venues such as The Gate Theatre or The Tabernacle, leading local art galleries and one of London’s most intimate cinema spaces, the Electric, it is difficult not to fall for the area’s artistic appeal.

Fitness & Wellbeing

With such an array of fitness, spa and wellbeing facilities nearby, the area provides everything you need to maintain a healthy work, life balance. Heartcore and Bodyworks, both unique in their approach, provide high intensity training classes, while Vie Styling offers bespoke one-to-one personal training, styling and nutritional plans to fit to your schedule.

Gardens & Outdoors

Located moments from the north-west corner of London’s world renowned green space, the visually striking Kensington Gardens and adjoining Hyde Park contain an idyllic space to walk, exercise, relax or unwind. In the opposing direction, the smaller Holland Park and its tranquil Kyoto Garden, make afternoon picnics an attractive prospect.

A number of original Grade II listed features have been meticulously restored or replicated where necessary to the highest level of craftsmanship, coupled with the finest contemporary design and high specification features.
