Set on prestigious Oakley Street between Albert Bridge and the Kings Road, this raised ground floor one-bedroom flat combines period character with contemporary fittings. The reception is remarkably bright and includes a step-up study area; a bespoke kitchen flows into a glass conservatory that amplifies light and provides an additional dining/soft seating space. A pretty patio garden with red-brick flower beds is a rare outdoor asset for a central Chelsea property.
The bedroom offers built-in storage and a separate dressing room, helping the layout feel larger and more practical than most one-beds. At approximately 638 sq ft the accommodation is generous, suitable for a first-time buyer seeking space to work from home or for a couple downsizing without compromising on lifestyle. Local amenities, restaurants and boutiques along Kings Road are within minutes, and the Thames is a short walk away.
Practical points are straightforward: the property is a share of freehold with 82 years remaining on the lease — buyers should check lease extension costs and implications. Communal hallway refurbishment is scheduled to begin in 2025, which may affect service charges or require a contribution. The building’s solid brick construction suggests limited wall insulation; double glazing is present but the installation date is unknown, so consider energy-efficiency improvements.
Overall this flat offers an attractive central Chelsea lifestyle, strong natural light and private outdoor space. It suits a buyer prioritising location, living space and character, while accepting the practicalities of an older building and the lease/service-charge considerations.
