Already famed for its beauty, bohemian haven Notting Hill becomes even more charming in the summer months.
With its outdoor market culture and abundance of green space, this area is the perfect place to enjoy the sunshine and buyers recognise this, so sellers here traditionally see a surge in activity at this time of year.
Meanwhile, private outside space is increasingly topping requirement lists as the weather gets warmer, and this heightened demand means a garden, patio or roof terrace can add up to 15 percent to the overall value of a property. This is particularly true of the larger gardens found on properties in and around North Kensington, while homes near Holland and Hyde parks also command a premium. This month I'd like to showcase a property with outstanding outdoor space to celebrate this ongoing trend.
Set on North Kensington's Barlby Road, this beautifully designed four bedroomed terrace house has gardens to the front and rear, as well as a stunning extension to the side and back that has been fitted with a ceiling of skylights. In keeping with this transparent theme the entire back wall is made from glass doors, which fold back completely to allow the rear garden to become an additional aspect of the home.
Outside a decked area acts as a prelude to the lush green lawn, providing the perfect setting for family barbeques or quiet post-work glass of wine, while the grass beyond is ideal for sunbathing or a friendly Sunday kickabout.
Coupled with the property's generous proportions and excellent location in the Royal Borough, these factors make this ultimate family home an irresistible complement to summer. Foxtons.co.uk/1328067 We agreed the sale of this three bedroomed apartment within just a week of bringing it onto the market at an asking price of 3,650,000.
The property received multiple bids and is now under offer.
