St. Helen's House | Beautiful Spacious Family-Friendly Mews House in Notting Hill

4 Bedroom House in St. Helen's, London

Welcome to our family mews house, a beautiful, totally refurbished, architect-designed family home in Notting Hill. For those not familiar, a mews is where the horses and carts used to be kept for the very large townhouses in Holland Park back in the early 1900s, that changed with the invention of the motor car and now mews houses are very desirable places to live due to their privacy as most of them are gated.
This is very much a loving home full of character and interesting artifacts from around the world, and is light, airy, warm, and comfortable. The house has very high ceilings (uncommon for a mews house), a completely refurbished property over three floors (2640 square feet) with modern facilities. This is our main family home and we want it to feel like it's yours too!
The house is in a safe and quiet conservation area in a private, gated, cobbled mews, a convenient seven-minute stroll to the bustling Portobello Road where the famous Portobello Antiques Market takes place on Saturdays and a smaller flea market on Sundays, the daily open-air market where you can buy fresh flowers and yummy food, and plenty of great restaurants and cafés.
Westfield shopping mall (Europe's largest) and Shepherd's Bush Central Line station are a 5-minute bus ride away. Latimer road underground station is a 4-minute walk and Ladbroke Grove Underground station is only 5 minutes walk (both zone 2 Hammersmith and city / Circle line), and there’s a frequent bus service within a 2-minute walk that takes you to Oxford Street and the West End, (London’s theatre district). Of course, we have Uber or Addison Lee taxis that can take you anywhere at the drop of a hat and larger cars are available for larger families.
A nearby bus service (Oxford Tube) will take you to the famous City of Oxford in only one hour.
The ground floor level of the house has an oak-floored open living, dining and kitchen space with a Pantry and Utility / Laundry room. Under-floor heating throughout and a wood-burning stove make it warm and inviting on chilly days.
It has a well-equipped hi spec kitchen with a professional range cooker, American style fridge/freezer and separate wine fridge. The double height dining area has a long rosewood dining table with matching rosewood chairs and an wood-burning open fireplace. There is also a Stokke highchair should you need it.
Floor by floor:
Bathrooms:
On both floors, there are beautiful spacious bathrooms, open-plan wet rooms with under-floor heating, rain showers, and beautiful roll-top baths.
The bedroom configuration is as follows:
On the first floor, (floor above ground) we have:
Bedroom 1: 4 poster Kingsize (60 in × 78 in / 150 cm × 200 cm) - sleeps 2, with a single pull out underneath (36 in × 75 in / 91 cm × 190 cm). - Sleeps 1
Bedroom 2: Kingsize bedroom ( 60 in × 78 in / 150 cm × 200 cm) (sleeps 2)
On the same floor, we then have an upstairs living/workspace where we have a very comfortable fold-out single sofa chair (Sleeps 1) This room has an open balcony to the floor below which means that sound can travel up to this room from below however the room cannot be seen from below due to the high ceiling below so is private.
On the second floor:
Bedroom 3: Kingsize bedroom ( 60 in × 78 in / 150 cm × 200 cm) (sleeps 2)
Master suite: Master suite with Kingsize bed (6' x 6'6 / 180cms x 200cms). Sleeps 2)
Both bedrooms on the second floor (top floor) have air conditioning.
We also have a folding guest bed that would be suitable for a child/ teenager and could be put in any of the bedrooms and 2 travel cots (pack and play).
The house is incredibly child friendly, we know how difficult it is to travel with children and slip quickly into a routine when you arrive somewhere new! We have plenty of books and games and there are stair-gates and baby monitors should you require them. If you're travelling with children you won't need to bring a thing other than their favourite snuggly!
Towels and linen are included and of course the house is carefully cleaned before each rental. Additional linen is available by arrangement and a cleaning service during the rental period can be provided at guests' own cost (£18.00 per hour) which needs to be booked in advance, especially in the summer holiday season.
We can also provide you with a reliable babysitting service if desired (Sitters), many of our guests make use of this and have been delighted with the baby sitters.
We provide a house file filled with useful information so you can quickly get to grips with where everything is, not only in the house but our preferred restaurants and services in the area. There are also plenty of travel guide books.
The accommodation is enormously flexible. As there are bedrooms on all floors, guests can base themselves in separate areas if 2 families are travelling together for instance. The beds and linens are of the highest quality, and so are the showers: guests often write appreciative notes about these. All the bedrooms are quietly appointed, so there should be little to disturb your sleep.
The house is a beautiful, practical and peaceful place to escape and enjoy London's hustle and bustle, our guests have told us that they enjoyed ' the luxury of a hotel whilst feeling a part of London life.'
I offer a personalized service and am on hand to offer advice whenever needed. This isn't a soulless holiday rental, this is a family home which will become your home from home.
The top floor of the house has air conditioning keeping those bedrooms (and the rest of the house below) cool. As the house thick brick walls the house stays nice and fresh in the summer months.
Please make sure that you are covered for cancellations (including Covid related) by your travel insurance or credit card insurance.
A word of advice, if you are travelling on an overnight flight with young children I highly recommend booking the day prior to your arrival. This will guarantee early access to the house. Check in time is 4pm, if there are guests checking out at 10am the morning you arrive the house will not be ready for you before 4pm and we don't allow guests to occupy the house while the cleaners are there for obvious reasons. Bag drop will be possible however after 10:30am.
Payment can be made via VRBO Payments, Paypal or by bank transfer.

Everything was well thought-out and our host Katie was gracious and available for any questions; the location is a great balance of solitude and city accessibility.

Summary: We thoroughly enjoyed Katie's Notting Hill house. The location and amenities were great for our multigenerational group of 10. The hosts were very helpful and accommodating during the check-in process and throughout the stay. The location relative to the tube stations and main roads of Notting Hill are great - you really have London at your fingertips. Would recommend to anyone.

Summary: Beautiful home just steps away from Portobello Road. But far enough for peace and quiet. Spacious, perfectly decorated and with all the amenities you could ask for. And, it's a Mews House, with the garden facing wall fully opening up to bring the outdoors in. (Even when it rains a little - it's protected. We loved this stay.

Summary: As a family we had a wonderful visit to London. The information provided by Katie was invaluable. It is convenient to explore the city from here as buses and the underground are both in easy walking distance from the house. Local stores make it easy to pick up groceries on the way home. Katie's neighbors are friendly and helpful. We would not hesitate to recommend Katie's home for your London holiday.
