Description The Artist's Vision: London

Stepping through the front door of this converted rectory is transformative. It’s the kind of space that inspires you to pause and savour the presence that makes this space unique.

Once home to celebrated 18th Century illustrator John Hassall, the artist’s light remains but with a bohemian flair. Now it’s an oasis in the heart of Notting Hill – a place to rest, relax and be inspired. No doubt the expansive central studio will captivate you from the moment you arrive – light spills in through the conservatory windows, bringing a wonderful sense of freedom and openness to this space. You’ll love sitting here in the morning, watching the trees dance outside and then later as the sun sets with drinks in hand – the table is perfect for intimate candlelit dinners.

And when you’re ready to explore beyond this peaceful sanctuary, it’s just a short stroll to Portobello Road and Notting Hill’s abundant selection of cafes and restaurants. You’ll also find leafy Holland Park and Kensington Gardens less than twenty–minutes away.
