This Grade II listed Georgian townhouse on St Leonard’s Terrace is a rare, characterful family home with generous internal space (approximately 2,885 sq ft) and period detail throughout. High ceilings, sash windows, an elegant drawing room and a principal suite with dressing room deliver true Chelsea grandeur. South-east facing front balcony and far-reaching views across Burton Court and the Royal Chelsea Hospital are standout features for entertaining and daily enjoyment.
The house has a traditional interior that reflects long family ownership and is presented with many original fittings and decorative cornices. An orangery-style kitchen with stained-glass windows and direct access to a rear terrace creates a bright breakfast space. There is useful lower-ground accommodation including an informal reception room, utility room with street access, an ensuite bedroom and substantial storage.
Outside offers a small rear garden accessed from terraces, plus off-street parking to the front and a wisteria-covered façade that gives strong kerb appeal. Practical benefits include excellent mobile signal, fast broadband and no identified flood risk — helpful for modern family life and home-working.
Buyers should note the property’s listed status will restrict alterations and may complicate works and permissions. The house has been lived in by one family for decades and, while charming, will reward restoration or sympathetic updating. The area records higher crime levels and council tax is very expensive; purchasers should factor these into ongoing costs.
