Listing of the Day
Location: Notting Hill, London
Price: £14.95 million (US$19.8 million)
The site of this luxury Notting Hill home was formerly a local pub called The Lonsdale, which around the turn of the 20th century, happened to be the the favorite neighborhood spot of the fifth Earl of Lonsdale (Hugh Cecil Lowther).
Award-winning Mayfair-based developers, Fenton Whelan, have transformed the site into an elegant five-bedroom family house, complete with tailored bespoke finishes.
Chris Shaw of Domus Nova, one of the brokerages handling the sale of the house, describes the property as "a shining example of exquisite craftsmanship, bespoke luxury and thoughtful layout."
Its exacting specifications and leisure amenities are of a quality normally associated with residences in Knightsbridge or Mayfair.

"This spacious family house introduces a Mayfair-quality property into the Notting Hill marketplace," said James Van Den Heule, co-founding director at Fenton Whelan.
The house benefits from a wide and deep plot, which has allowed for the creation of large floor plates, delivering an abundance of lateral living space on all levels.
The large spaces are accessorized by a tasteful color palette, radiant finishes and a captivating selection of modern art.
