Tucked away on a peaceful cobbled cul-de-sac, Simon Close is one of Portobello’s best-kept secrets. This area places you in the heart of trendy Notting Hill. With four bedrooms and comfortably sleeping up to nine guests, it’s the perfect choice for a family vacation in one of the capital’s most bohemian and laid-back areas.:

Famous for Portobello Market, its annual street carnival, and for being the backdrop for several famous films, Notting Hill is a vibrant part of the city. Colourful shop fronts sit alongside world-renowned restaurants. Vintage lovers will want to spend plenty of time browsing the market – best visited on a Saturday, although you’ll find stalls lining the street all week. For movie fans, tours of the most famous locations can be seen on the Notting Hill Film Tour. Or take a stroll around one of London’s more unusual museums, the Museum of Brands on Lancaster Road.

Simon Close is spread across three levels, each one decorated in a modern style with neutral colourways but with the home’s traditional features still incorporated into the décor. The entrance level welcomes you with the home’s second sitting room, a large family kitchen and a playroom for the children, making this a very family-orientated home. The first level down takes you to the main sitting room, where the cool white interior is offset by a hot pink rug that gives the room real character.:

The second guest bedroom is also located on the lower floor, offering a king-size bed, an attractive ensuite, and a quiet workstation where you can answer your emails in peace. The remaining bedrooms are located on the upper floor. The primary suite has a sumptuous king-size bed and refined ensuite, while the third bedroom has a double bed that would be ideal for older teens. The fourth bedroom is designed to provide a snuggly haven for younger guests, with a single-over-single bunk bed and a separate single bed.

Simon Close has a final surprise – two beautiful mature gardens attached to the home. The patio area is filled with statement planting and a BBQ for those relaxed Sunday family cookouts. The larger main garden has a lawn where you can enjoy family games or relaxed picnics. All in all, Simon Close offers plenty of space, comfort and privacy, while remaining close to the heart of the action.:
