A famous pink house in Notting Hill, known for its eclectic charm, has been listed for sale. The property, dubbed 'The Pink House,' is a one-bedroom, one-bathroom home with a rooftop garden and a history tied to a former art gallery. While its distinctive pink facade and unique features have attracted admirers, its price tag has also sparked debate.
A famous pink house in Notting Hill has hit the market for £1,250,000. Known for its eclectic and colourful houses, Notting Hill now boasts a particularly famous bright pink home with a scarlet door, affectionately dubbed 'The Pink House .' This charismatic residence is widely recognized as one of the most photographed properties in the area, constantly capturing the attention of online users.
A simple Instagram search reveals pages of pictures featuring the house itself and countless influencers (controversially) posing outside it. Remember the trend in the 2010s of randomly selecting houses and taking pictures of them? This one, located on Lonsdale Road, has undoubtedly been a prime target. However, the constant attention hasn't always been welcomed. Knight Frank agent Jack Thomas previously revealed to The Evening Standard that the owner had to ask people to stop taking pictures on his doorstep for Instagram more times than he could remember. Beyond the photographic frenzy, 'The Pink House' is a one-bedroom, one-bathroom home spanning 872 square feet. Originally a stable in the 1800s, it has been transformed into a charming dwelling. One of its standout features is the rooftop garden, accessed via a stylish spiral staircase, complete with a table and chairs for enjoying views of the iconic West London streets. The home's fame isn't solely attributed to its distinctive pink facade and charming features. A gold plaque outside identifies it as 'The Bankrobber,' a name inherited from the Bankrobber London art gallery that previously occupied the space across the road. This gallery showcased works by prominent artists like The Libertines' frontman Pete Doherty, Ronnie Kray, and even Banksy, adding another layer of history to this already fascinating pink abode.Since its listing went live, fans of the iconic home have flooded the internet with their admiration, with @thesouthernleesocial labelling it a 'bold statement.' They praised its charm and character, recognizing Notting Hill's ability to embrace unique and distinctive properties. However, not everyone was immediately captivated. Some expressed surprise at the price tag, arguing that it was exorbitant for such a small space. Comparisons were drawn with purchasing a villa in Italy or Spain for the same amount, or acquiring a larger house in Surrey with a garden and fresh air. The Pink House isn't the only property in the area to attract photo-obsessed crowds. In 2022, Peter Lee, owner of a £2,000,000 Kensington home painted a lighter shade of pink, shared his frustrations with influencers who wouldn't leave his property alone. He revealed significant repair bills due to damage to his doorstep and suggested placing a charity collection box outside. The story of 'The Pink House' highlights the allure of unique properties and the impact of social media trends on real estate.
