M+ Property: £850K Homes of the Week in the City, Country and Coast
Whether you’re actively house-hunting or simply indulging in a property scroll between meetings, this week’s edit takes us from a classic Notting Hill apartment with access to one of London’s most coveted communal gardens, to a quietly beautiful Norfolk retreat surrounded by open countryside, finishing with a clifftop penthouse in Broadstairs with uninterrupted sea views.
CITY: PERIOD APARTMENT, LEINSTER SQUARE, NOTTING HILL, W2
Guide Price: £850,000
Bedrooms: 2 | Bathrooms: 1
Set within an elegant Grade II-listed stucco-fronted building, this well-proportioned apartment offers classic west London living in one of the capital’s most desirable postcodes. Positioned on the second floor, the flat is filled with natural light, with a generous reception room leading through to a spacious kitchen, where French doors open onto a large flat roof terrace, a rare bonus in this part of London.
Two well-sized bedrooms provide flexibility for guests, working from home or a young family, while the layout feels both practical and calm.
The standout feature, however, is access to Leinster Square’s beautiful communal gardens, the kind of quintessential London luxury that adds immediate appeal.
Westbourne Grove, Notting Hill and Paddington are all within easy reach, making this an ideal option for those wanting charm, convenience and outdoor space in equal measure.
COUNTRY: CONTEMPORARY HOUSE, STANHOE, NORFOLK
Guide Price: £800,000
Bedrooms: 3 | Bathrooms: 3
For those drawn to country living with a more contemporary aesthetic, this beautifully designed Norfolk home offers a compelling alternative to the traditional rural retreat.
Set in the peaceful village of Stanhoe, just a short drive from the north Norfolk coast, the house thoughtfully blends its 18th-century origins with striking modern interventions. Exposed stone walls, soaring ceilings and carefully considered natural materials create a sense of calm throughout.
The open-plan kitchen, dining and living space has been designed for modern family life, with strong connections to the landscaped garden beyond, while upstairs, three generously sized bedrooms offer privacy and flexibility, including a serene principal suite with countryside views.
Outside, around a third of an acre of garden provides space to entertain, relax or simply enjoy the slower pace of village life.
With Burnham Market, Holkham and Brancaster all within easy reach, this is country living with both design credibility and coastal access.
COAST: DUPLEX PENTHOUSE, BROADSTAIRS, KENT
Guide Price: £850,000
Bedrooms: 2 | Bathrooms: 2
Positioned on the clifftop between Joss Bay and Kingsgate Bay, this beautifully presented duplex penthouse offers coastal living with a distinctly elevated feel.
The main living space is open-plan and centred around expansive sea views, with a private balcony extending directly from the reception area. Upstairs, an observatory-style sunroom, library and substantial roof terrace create additional living space that makes the most of the setting.
Two well-finished bedrooms and bathrooms provide comfortable accommodation, while thoughtful additions including lift access directly into the apartment, underground parking for two cars, private storage, a residents’ gym and sauna add to the overall appeal.
Broadstairs continues to be one of Kent’s most desirable seaside destinations, balancing sandy beaches and coastal walks with strong transport links back to London, making this an attractive option for both full-time living and weekend escape.
