Find a sprawling base of operations in this stunning home right in the heart of well-heeled Notting Hill. The rooftop terrace has views of a private garden and is perfect for entertaining, while the interior living spaces offer enough room for everyone to find a nook for themselves. We were especially impressed with the dining area, with suspended designer lights hanging from the floor above. When you want to explore the city, you're just a one-minute walk from Portobello Road, home to a world-famous market, and eight from Notting Hill tube station.

Home truths:
*Parking in London can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to the easily accessible public transport where possible - Notting Hill Gate Underground station is just an 8-minute walk away
*This home is spread over three floors, with no internal lift – it may not be suitable for those with limited mobility
