Summary - Flat 1, 38 Draycott Place SW3 2SA
1 bed 1 bath Studio
Compact, characterful pied‑à‑terre close to Sloane Square and King's Road.
Raised ground floor studio with high period ceilings
A compact studio with genuine Chelsea character, set on the raised ground floor of an ornate red‑brick mansion block on Draycott Place. High ceilings and large period windows create light and an airy feel unusual for a property of this size; a remote‑control retractable bed and fitted kitchen maximise usable floor area for comfortable city living or a pied‑à‑terre.
Practical features include double glazing installed since 2002, share of freehold ownership and a service charge that covers building insurance. At about 301 sq ft this is best suited to a single occupant, a city professional or an investor seeking a central London rental. The location is excellent for Chelsea retail and Sloane Square transport links.
Be factual about running costs: heating is by electric room heaters and the building has solid brick walls with no known insulation, which can raise energy use. The service charge of £4,200 pa is above average for a flat this size and should be factored into affordability calculations. There is no private outdoor space.
Overall this is a well‑presented period studio offering an efficient layout and classic Chelsea address; its strengths are location and character, while its limitations are compact size, electric heating, and above‑average service charges.
