Spread across five floors of an immaculate period townhouse, Artesian Road is imagined for artistically-inclined family dwelling. Curated pieces of global natural history are showcased alongside soothing natural tones; two outside spaces are set for alfresco entertaining; swathes of light cascade through every room, affording an uplifting and calming feel throughout.

Palatial heritage proportions are invigorated with a set of eclectic artefacts in the raised-ground floor reception room. A large desk is situated by a sash window, whilst sand-toned armchairs are thoughtfully arranged by a marble fireplace. Double doors open to a balcony, complete with decorative cast-iron railings. Delineated by single a step, the television area is a cosy affair with an L-shaped sofa, soft grey and terracotta hues.

Family life continues in the spacious lower-ground kitchen, dining and living room. Pale walls, blonde floors and stone-coloured furnishings make for a thoroughly soothing interior palette. Rustic touches, such as the tree root coffee tables, succulents and ceramic vases, converse with contemporary sculptural lights. Refined, natural tones continue into the kitchen and dining areas, brightened through expansive ceiling glazing. From the living space, slide back bi-folding windows for effortless harmony between the inside and out. The south-facing garden patio is framed by leafy greenery; a suntrap setting for afternoon lunches and evening drinks.

A staircase with open treads channels further light into the home – a precursor to the sunny first-floor master suite. There’s understated elegance to the bedroom’s pale sage walls, ivory curtains and marble fireplace, beautifully illuminated through full-height sash windows. Its ensuite is a showpiece of bathroom design: a raised tub is deftly engineered into honey-toned marble, with a large waterfall shower sitting opposite. From the stairwell of this floor, there’s a second terrace overlooking peaceful Artesian Road.

A serene guest bedroom, bathroom and dedicated dressing room occupies the entire second floor. A leopard-print carpeted staircase ascends to the third floor, where two further bedrooms are minimalist in design and tranquil in feel – served by a skylit family bathroom.

Serene living in the beating heart of Notting Hill. Artesian Road is a peaceful residential street just off Ledbury Road, home to coveted eateries such as Ottolenghi and The Ledbury, or wellness spots like FaceGym and Caudalie Boutique Spa. In a few minutes, you’re on fashionable Westbourne Grove or vibrant Portobello Road, characterised by their vast array of restaurants, vintage boutiques and galleries. Pick up essentials from Notting Hill Fish and Meat Shop, or head to Core by Clare Smyth for a night of fine dining. It’s a short walk to the Tube, giving you easy access to central London and beyond.
