Set on a quiet, secluded street off Chelsea Green, this substantial four-bedroom terraced house (with a self-contained basement flat) delivers generous, well-proportioned living across approximately 2,222 sq ft. Period features — high ceilings, original fireplaces, sash windows and decorative cornicing — give the reception rooms and dining room classic Chelsea character, while the Italianate patio garden provides a private, calming outdoor space in the heart of SW3.
The house is arranged over several floors: an elevated ground-floor entrance leads to kitchen, dining and raised reception rooms; the principal bedroom with en-suite and a second bedroom sit on the first floor; two further bedrooms and a family bathroom occupy the second floor. The lower-ground flat has its own street entrance with reception, kitchenette, bedroom and bathroom — useful as rental income, staff/guest accommodation or potentially to reintegrate with the main house subject to consents.
Practical points are clear: the property is freehold with mains gas heating (boiler and radiators), double glazing of unknown age and solid brick walls likely without cavity insulation. There is scope for modernisation and energy-efficiency improvements. Council tax is very expensive and the local area records above-average crime, which buyers should factor into budgeting and security planning.
Location is a key strength — immediate access to Brompton Cross, Kings Road, St Luke’s Gardens and good tube connections via South Kensington and Sloane Square. Highly regarded primary and independent schools are nearby, making this an attractive option for families seeking central Chelsea living with flexibility for rental or multi-generational arrangements.
