Homes in Notting Hill
Notting Hill is known for its pastel stucco terraces, communal garden squares and large Victorian villas, particularly on the Ladbroke Estate. Holland Park has grand detached and semi-detached houses, while North Kensington has a mix of Victorian terraces and post-war estates such as the Trellick Tower area.
Many houses have been converted into flats or extended into basements. Communal gardens are often governed by garden committees and rules. Conservation areas cover much of the area, controlling alterations. Prices are among the highest in London, and houses rarely stay on the market long. Portobello Road is the main focal point, and the area attracts buyers from around the world. Many large houses have been extended into the basement, and buyers should check approvals and party wall history.
Areas we cover include Notting Hill, Holland Park, Ladbroke Grove, Portobello, North Kensington.
