Set on the fourth floor of an iconic red‑brick mansion block on Cheyne Walk, this expansive 2,379 sq ft apartment combines period charm with high ceilings and generous, flexible living space. A large principal bedroom with built‑in storage and en suite sits alongside three further double bedrooms, a formal dining room and a bright open-plan reception/kitchen ideal for entertaining. Communal roof terrace offers southerly views over the Thames, including Albert and Battersea Bridges.
Practical benefits include a porter, access to a secure vault, and an exceptionally long lease (942 years). The building sits moments from the King's Road, Sloane Square and multiple well-regarded schools, making the location strong for families or owner-occupiers seeking central Chelsea living.
Buyers should note material running costs: the service charge is high at £13,000 per year and council tax is described as very expensive. Broadband speeds in the area are slow, and the building’s solid brick walls likely lack insulation — further retrofit may be needed for improved thermal performance. Double glazing is present but the install date is unknown.
This is a substantial period apartment with excellent entertaining spaces, riverside views and flexible bedrooms. It will particularly suit buyers prioritising location, space and character who are comfortable with higher service costs and potential modernization works to optimise energy performance and connectivity.
