Description

Set within The Old Telephone Exchange, a striking and characterful conversion steeped in architectural heritage, this exceptional two-bedroom apartment offers aproximately 889 sq ft of design-led accommodation arranged over three levels. Formerly a working telephone exchange, the building’s industrial past is celebrated through double-height ceilings, exposed brickwork, black steel beams and steel-framed arched windows, creating a dramatic loft-style aesthetic rarely found in Notting Hill. Located on a private, cobbled and gated mews, this boutique development offers a remarkable sense of privacy and exclusivity, with properties here seldom coming to market—this particular home having remained in the same ownership for around 30 years.

The heart of the home is the beautifully proportioned open-plan reception and dining space, flooded with natural light and seamlessly connected to a sleek contemporary kitchen fitted with integrated Miele appliances and high-quality finishes throughout. The duplex layout has been thoughtfully conceived, with a mezzanine level overlooking the main living area, providing a versatile study or home office that enhances the sense of volume and architectural interest. The first floor accommodates two bright and well-proportioned bedrooms, complemented by a refined shower room. Additional benefits include a private basement storage room of approximately 48 sq ft, an allocated covered parking space, weekday on-site porterage, and secure gated access. Situated within the Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea, The Old Telephone Exchange represents a rare opportunity to acquire a design-forward, quietly positioned home of genuine character and long-term appeal in the heart of Notting Hill.
