In one of London's most sought-after neighbourhoods, an intriguing property has come to market. Tucked away in an attractive yet fairly unassuming row of mews houses in Notting Hill, this home blends unexpected scale with eco-conscious credentials and multifunctional living.
Also known as 'The Submariner's House', the interiors are a result of a collaboration between the current owner – whose former profession served as the inspiration for the home's nickname – and award-winning architecture firm Tuckey Design Studio.
The practice is renowned for its adaptive reuse projects, remodeling existing buildings through sustainable, low-carbon construction – principles are immediately apparent throughout the property.
The interiors are defined by a dramatic double-height void and a screened concrete staircase connecting four floors of light-filled, multifunctional space.
Meanwhile, a bespoke palette of Douglas Fir flooring, polished plaster and wood cladding provide the minimalist backdrop to space-maximising solutions, like the electric glazed 'switchable' privacy glass and felt-lined media rooms that also function as guest accommodation.
Step inside the two-bedroom home, and you are welcomed directly into the expansive kitchen and dining area occupying the entire ground floor. One standout feature here is the large floor-to-ceiling built-in storage wall, finished in a light neutral hue to blend seamlessly into its surroundings despite its considerable scale.

The first floor is dedicated to the reception room, with a study tucked away at the rear. Here, too, built-in storage provides ample space for belongings, while a freestanding fireplace and low ceilings lend a distinct sense of cosiness. The space feels cocooning but not oppressive, thanks to the light neutral colour palette and large windows.
On the second floor, the principal bedroom sits alongside a sand-coloured ensuite complete with a sculptural tub that taps into the 'spathroom' trend that has gained traction in recent years.
The sleeping quarters are entirely clad in pale wood with a retractable skylight flooding the room with natural light.
The second bedroom, which doubles as a media room, is located on the lower ground floor, served by a striking lime green shower room.
A roof terrace, complete with panoramic views across Notting Hill's famed colourful houses and cobbled streets below – completes this design-led home.
'The Submariner’s House is a standout example of thoughtful design and craftsmanship,' says Jack Thomas, sales manager in Knight Frank’s Notting Hill office.
'There are some particularly well-considered and inventive touches, from the adaptable media spaces to the retractable skylight and roof terrace, offering a home that feels both architectural and highly liveable.'
The property is on the market with Knight Frank for a guide price of £2,750,000.
