About this property

Spacious 1st floor Portobello Balcony apartment

A beautifully light and airy apartment with high ceilings on the first floor of one of the detached period houses in the elegant tree lined Bassett Road, the premier address in Ladbroke Grove/Portobello, London.

The apartment may appear to be unavailable towards the end of the year however please message as I should be able to accommodate you :)

Two minutes walk from Ladbroke Grove station [ Circle line and Hammersmith & City line ] it is a tranquil place to stay near the hubbub of the Portobello Road and Notting Hill area with your choice of bohemian and culturally diverse restaurants and bars. You can run the full gamut from charming local cafes and street food market in Golborne Road, Galicia my favourite where you are transported to Spain without taking the flight - to the Electric, through Lisa's with jazz guitar on Thursday evenings and finally Richard Caring's Pizza East. Stroll through the Portobello Antique market on Saturday and explore the charms of Notting Hill and West London.

Bassett Road and the building are a quiet oasis in a vibrant district - the apartment does not suit party animals :)

The apartment has wall to wall Nantucket cupboards in the bedroom. With a little agility required to negotiate the windowsill - as seen in the photographs - you can enjoy a coffee on the diminutive balcony in the sunshine before venturing out to explore the area.

The apartment is not suitable for children, toddlers or babies.

The kitchen has a fridge with separate freezer, washer/dryer, oven hob and extractor, microwave, electric smoothie maker and electric kettle.

Heating is controlled by a NEST thermostat.

When rented for more than 10 days - my cleaner will attend the property for approx. 2 hours per week, after the first week, inc changing sheets & towels, at an additional cost of £60

Super fast 60 MB Fibre optic broadband with unlimited download and a 42 inch Plasma TV with terrestrial channels and HDMI cable.
Please note the bed is a comfortable Kingsize bed.

The Neighbourhood
Ladbroke Grove has a thriving local community - there are many small independent shops and amazingly diverse restaurants.
With the Portobello and Golborne Road markets the area has a bohemian and friendly atmosphere where you can browse the antique shops, stop for coffee in an endless number of small cafes or enjoy Tapas at the local Spanish restaurant.

I recommend inexpensive taxi companies from both Heathrow and Gatwick - ensuring a stress free arrival :)

I would suggest you acquire a local SIM card
I recommend GiffGaff.
You can then download CityMapper for Public Transport and the Taxi APP - UBER

On the site I’m not accepting bookings more than three months out due to the uncertainty of UK regulations. Should you be interested in a long-term stay or wish to discuss a stay more than three months out please contact me.

Lovely stay

The property is situated in a convenient location, with public transportation and supermarket nearby. Portobello Market, Notting Hill Gate & Holland Park area are within walking distance. The flat is quiet, clean with all the necessary facilities. The host is responsive and helpful. There's a bus stop very close by and quite often I take the bus instead, especially at night.

Perfect flat in Ladbroke Grove

I spent a month at this property and it was wonderful. Well-appointed, great location on a quiet street, easy access to transport, shops and dining. Caz, the property manager, is a great communicator and made sure everything was going fine with the property. If you’re looking for a place, this property is perfect for 1-2 people.

Great Flat in Notting Hill

The flat is located in a pretty street in Notting Hill, very residential. It is in good condition and spacious for a one bedroom. Close to Ladroke Station for easy access to the city. Caz was easy to work with and very helpful with the check in and recommendations for nearby supermarkets and restaurants. There was some work with painting the front door and stairwell and Caz helped out looking after the flat while I was away. A minor issue was the with the hot water system which some times switches to cold water during a shower even when it is pumped up in pressure (due to low pressure supply). I am sure this can be fixed. Overall, I can recommend this flat.

About the host

Hosted by Caz MacClancy

Host profile image
I own four idiosyncratic homes - two in Chelsea, one in Ladbroke Grove and a wonderful house in Shepherd's Bush with a large South facing garden.
Occasionally an apartment is available for guests - it is a fabulous alternative to an hotel with the opportunity to enjoy a real neighbourhood experience - when not let one apartment gives me the chance to practice the saxophone to my hearts content - very quiet until I start! :)

Why they chose this property

This is a 'happy' house and the area brings to mind Armistead Maupin's 'Tales of the City'. The apartment is in one of the grand houses of Bassett Road and is a peaceful oasis in a bohemian area :)

What makes this property unique

The apartment has high ceilings and a great feeling of space - I made an offer on the day that I viewed it - we completed a month later - when it is not occupied I enjoy taking the opportunity to spend a few days there as it has unique character ...
