Peel Street, Notting Hill Gate, London, W8

It would appear that in the world of tiny homes, this London pad was very much an early adopter.
Initially a ransom strip of land connecting the road to a long-demolished building behind, this unique house built circa 1930 and subsequently refurbished during the 1950s, found its way into the custodianship of its current owner around ten years ago.

For a compact home, there's an awful lot to unpack here. Every square foot of the three floors has been thoroughly and thoughtfully designed.

Firstly, it's a hugely distinctive home. Even at seven feet wide, its presence sits large along Peel Streets historic period terrace.

With a passion for the Arts and Crafts era, a considered renovation introduced many decorative features of the period which extends to some exquisite detailing adorning the front of the house. A zinc canopied entrance sits below a curved window cover and custom made dragons head downpipe, symbolic of the arts and crafts movement, finds it way down the rendered facade.? Finally, beautifully patinaed parquet in the ground floor kitchen which you step into through an ornate, stained glass front door.

It doesn't take long to customise yourself with the inner surroundings. The dimensions of the ground floor sit well with the ceiling proportions providing a Tardis-like feel to the open plan kitchen and dining area; it's a very calming room that's just a comfortable hosting lively diner parties as it is a contemplative corner for a quiet coffee.

An ingeniously assembled ground floor shower room and WC sit between this and one of the two bedrooms with its industrial looking wood solid wood flooring and continued arts and crafts theme. A small light well with a sliver of outside space is accessed through rear glazed double doors.

Period styling fills the first-floor reception. An exquisite, decorative fireplace dominates the room pairing beautifully with exposed floorboards. At the furthest point of the room, more glazed doors open out to a sizable decked rear terrace wrapped with ornate balustrading, providing a private alfresco entertaining spot during warmer months.

Warm wooden stairs head up one last flight to the top floor suite. An elegant front facing sash window sits within a half eaved wall at one end of the room whilst a significantly sized en-suite bathroom completes the interior line up.

In the area?
Notting Hill Gate and the wider Kensington area are surrounded by leafy open spaces of various sizes. Notably, Kensington Gardens and Holland Park are both equidistant and just a few mins on foot.

Peel Street's urban village quality is nicely at odds with London's wider urban sprawl. Its proximity to Kensington Church Street and beyond opens a wide and varied selection of highly prized boutiques, coffee houses, restaurants and bars. It presents itself as an ideal base to head off and explore London.
Notting Hill Gate Station is a comfortable walk away (Central Line), whilst High Street Kensington station, a little further on foot opens access to the City via Victoria on the District and Circle line.
