Striking dining, eh? The Independent gives this Blenheim Crescent, Notting Hill home, listed with Marsh and Parsons, a thorough going over today. It's being sold by a long-time investment banker recently turned punk promoter (nobody say it, because it might not be true) and his wife, who's in the flip-flop business. They like Morocco; they like to shower outdoors; and they appear to have a strange prejudice regarding ceramicists' agents:

"The light is amazing as you go up," Julie says. "But it had been owned by a ceramicists' agent and was very bland with lots of neutral beige colours. It badly needed decorating."

It's no longer bland, that's for sure. And, despite the flip-flops and ceramicist agent hateration and everything, we think it's lovely. It's listed at £3.4 million, it has five bedrooms, off-street parking and a large roof terrace with shower. Find particulars here; and the Independent feature here.
