5 bedroom house for sale

Tucked discreetly behind private gates on Barlby Road, this exceptional five-bedroom villa unfolds over a generous lateral footprint and exemplifies cutting-edge contemporary architecture in the heart of North Kensington. Completed in 2021, the house is the result of a bold vision by renowned architects Powell Tuck Associates, marrying vast volumes, rich materials and sculptural detailing to create a one-of-a-kind home.



Beyond its understated façade lies a series of expansive living spaces, anchored by a dramatic floating staircase and a lateral reception room with dual-aspect glazing. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the home with light and open seamlessly onto a beautifully landscaped, south-facing garden, designed by Chelsea Flower Show winner Stuart Craine.



At the heart of the home sits a bespoke Corten-effect kitchen, centred around a travertine island with an integrated pit hob. American straight grain oak joinery, stone flooring, and considered detailing elevate every room, while state-of-the-art appliances by Miele and an iPad controlled system ensure flawless functionality.



The accommodation includes four ensuite bedrooms and a self-contained annexe, perfect for guests, staff or additional family members. Bathrooms are striking in their simplicity, with minimalist stone finishes and mid-century-inspired fittings. A dedicated home cinema, gym and separate study complete the offering. Bespoke interiors include custom furniture and curated materials that lend the house warmth, depth and individuality.



Extremely secure and discreetly positioned, the villa sits within a gated compound with off-street parking and dual entrances. Though supremely private, the house is within walking distance of Portobello Market, Notting Hill’s boutiques and restaurants, and sits opposite the exclusive members’ club, Ladbroke Hall.
