Pembridge Villas, Notting Hill, London, W11

This magnificent white stucco, double-fronted detached villa, set in the very heart of Notting Hill, is set back from the road behind its own private front garden.

The property is currently arranged as four unmodernised self-contained apartments, with planning permission granted to transform it into an exceptional family home, while retaining flexible ancillary accommodation.

The approved scheme has been carefully conceived to balance the elegance of the original architecture with the requirements of modern family living, creating a home of exceptional volume, natural light and flow.

Planning consent includes a substantial lower ground floor extension together with a new mansard third floor. The approved scheme creates an impressive five-bedroom principal residence arranged over the lower ground, ground and first floors, featuring two elegant reception rooms, a generous kitchen and family room opening directly onto the landscaped garden, off-street parking and an indoor swimming pool.

A key feature of the approved design is the repositioning of the principal staircase to the side of the house, allowing the principal reception rooms and kitchen to span the full width of the property. This thoughtful layout creates exceptional lateral living, maximising natural light and enhancing the sense of space—qualities rarely found in a period villa and more commonly associated with London's finest contemporary homes.

The upper floors provide three self-contained ancillary apartments (two two-bedroom apartments and one one-bedroom apartment), offering exceptional flexibility for extended family, older children, guests, live-in staff or security, subject to all necessary consents and regulations. Alternatively, the configuration lends itself perfectly to multi-generational living, allowing independence while remaining under one roof.

Extending to approximately 8,105 sq ft (753 sq m), excluding the atrium, the property represents an increasingly rare opportunity to create one of Notting Hill's landmark private residences. Combining the grandeur of a detached Victorian villa with beautifully considered lateral living, extensive leisure facilities and versatile ancillary accommodation, it offers a scale and flexibility seldom available in Prime Central London.

Situated on a prime position between Pembridge Villas and Pembridge Place, the property is moments from the boutiques of Westbourne Grove, Portobello Road and an excellent selection of cafés and restaurants. Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park are both within easy reach, while Notting Hill Gate Underground Station (Central, Circle and District lines) provides excellent transport connections across London.
