EXQUISITE NORTHACRE DUPLEX PENTHOUSE ATOP NOTTING HILL MANSION BLOCK  COMES TO MARKET

​

In 2014, leading ultra-prime developer of luxury residences Northacre, acquired an antiquated top-floor apartment in the sought-after Prince Edward Mansions on Moscow Road, Notting Hill. Taking the property back-to-brick, Northacre and their in-house interior design studio, N STUDIO transformed the 2,739 sq. ft. duplex apartment into an exquisite address, complete with premium features such as prime engineered Oak Chevron flooring, polished Carrara marble and a bespoke porcelain oval bath. 

 

The high-specification and quality typical of Northacre’s signature design are apparent throughout the property, where a curated blend of rich materials, clean lines and thoughtful design, work together harmoniously to create a series of sophisticated spaces.

 

Accessed via a traditional, ornate iron cable lift, the entrance to the penthouse is bathed in natural light and leads onto the lower floor rooms. A sleek staircase takes you to the upper levels of the property.

 

The versatile layout of the property allows for five bedrooms in total or the ability to incorporate a personal study or media room. The penthouse’s lower floor could act as the guest sleeping quarters, with two guest bedrooms and a bathroom occupying the full space.  Equally, the larger of the two rooms could be converted into a media/tv room.  

 

The upper floor is the heart of the home and main entertaining space with the principal rooms, including the kitchen and drawing room, benefitting from a south-facing aspect and allowing for an abundance of natural light to fill the spaces. N STUDIO have selected a mixture of engineered Oak Chevron flooring, neutral shades and polished Calacatta Oro kitchen worktops and splashbacks, creating an elegant and airy environment.

 

The bespoke kitchen is fitted with top-of-the-range Gaggenau, Barazza and Falmec appliances, together with dark stained timber cabinetry. A distinctively designed breakfast table stretches outward from the island worktop. The ceiling of the kitchen houses principal features for the room, including a custom light fitting forming a focal point over the breakfast table, a skylight illuminating the workbench and a retractable exhaust fan which discreetly tucks away.

 

The drawing room is an elegant space, which fits a dining table seating up to 12 people alongside sumptuous seating in the lounge area - an ideal combination for entertaining guests or relaxing with the family. The chevron-design wood floors add a geometric depth to the room while refreshingly contrasting with the rectangular cornice details on the walls. The drawing room is completed with a contemporary fireplace in beige marble, surrounded by a brushed gold border.

 

Hidden to the rear of the upper level, allowing for maximum privacy, is the master suite. Decorated in a delicate, pastel palette the room boasts a feature wall with a pattern resembling the cross-section of a geode crystal. Next to the window, an illuminated alcove forms a key part of the interior architecture by N STUDIO - currently featuring an ancient Greek-style bust, it is the perfect spot to display a statement art piece.

 

The master suite also hosts an elegant walk-in dressing room, with ample space to store clothes, jewellery and luggage. Adjacent to this is the spacious master en-suite. Finished in contrasting grey and white Carrara marble, the indulgent bathroom boasts a double walk-in shower, double vanity and freestanding bespoke porcelain bathtub.

 

Between the master bedroom and drawing room is an additional double bedroom with ample storage provided in the bespoke wardrobes.  A single-bedroom, which could also act as a private study, completes the upper floor together with a spacious utility room and a family bathroom.
