Pinehurst Court

Pinehurst Court is a Victorian residential building containing around 105 apartments spread across multiple floors on Colville Gardens near Portobello Market. The structure combines period architecture with functional modern living spaces for long-term residents.

The building was constructed in the 1870s by George Frederick Tippett as grand single-family homes for wealthy residents. Economic shifts over the decades led to its conversion into apartments to meet changing housing demand in the area.

The building shows how Notting Hill transformed from grand Victorian townhouses into a mixed community where people from different backgrounds live side by side.

The property sits on a quiet street in Notting Hill but within walking distance of Portobello Market and neighborhood shops. A porter service manages the building daily, and residents typically live under long-term lease agreements.

Many apartments retain original Victorian details such as decorative plasterwork, fireplaces, and high ceilings that visitors can still observe today. This blend of period features with contemporary comfort makes the building distinctive in how it preserves the past within modern living.
