Brick Apartments, London W9 2EF

“A waterside new build inspired by the likes of Lutyens and Getrude Jekyll”

This bright studio apartment is positioned on the fourth floor of The Brick, a waterside development designed by architects Stiff and Trevillion. The building is set on the banks of the Grand Union Canal along Woodfield Road in Westbourne Park, moments from the beloved north London neighbourhood of Notting Hill. It was designed with large floor-to-ceiling windows and handmade Petersen brick, a homage to architect Sir Edwin Lutyens, allowing light to permeate throughout the interiors. Spanning over 500 sq ft, the apartment feels wonderfully calm, with some of London’s most beloved public parks nearby, plus a rooftop terrace garden celebrating British horticulturalist Gertrude Jekyll.

The Tour

A shared garden, named the Lutyens Yard, leads to the main entrance, where there is a concierge. This particular apartment is on the third floor, accessed via stairs or lift.

Inside, the apartment follows an open-plan layout to maximise light and space. A wall of glazing in the living space fills the entrance hall with light, and a cupboard provides space for coats and shoes.

The main living space opens out to include three distinct zones for cooking, dining, and lounging. Floor-to-ceiling kitchen units by Wilson Fink line one wall; here, white-painted surfaces and a mirrored splashback amplify the light drawn in through expansive glazing and enhance the sense of openness. Miele, Bosch and Faber appliances are integrated, while bespoke cupboards and shelving hold books and maximise space. Large bifold doors open onto a Juliet balcony, stretching the width of the apartment.

Directly adjacent to the entrance is the double bedroom, with bright, whitewashed surfaces. Just opposite, full-height wardrobes provide ample space for clothes and other storage.

The bathroom is generously sized, and white porcelain wall tiles and mirror-fronted cabinetry lend the space an airy feel. The bath has an overhead shower, and the fixtures are Hansgrohe in a copper chrome finish.

Outdoor Space

A spacious outdoor terrace inspired by British horticulturalist Gertrude Jekyll is set on a lower-level rooftop; it is one of the largest residential rooftop gardens in London, with panoramic views of the city and the Grand Union Canal. The building provides secure underground car parking and bike storage.

The Area

Positioned just moments from the Grand Union Canal, The Brick is brilliantly located on Woodfield Road, bridging Westbourne Park with Maida Vale and Notting Hill. The neighbourhood is among London’s most beloved, with the world-famous stalls of Portobello Road and the boutiques of Westbourne Grove just a short stroll away.

For food and drink, the surrounding area has an exceptional array of independent cafes, gastropubs, and acclaimed restaurants across Little Venice and North Kensington. The nearby canal towpath provides a scenic, traffic-free route straight into Paddington and King’s Cross's Coal Drops Yard.

Westbourne Park Underground station (Hammersmith & City and Circle lines) is a short walk away, running direct access to the West End, the City, and beyond.
