Summary - Flat 2, 5 Draycott Place SW3 2SE
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Large period apartment near shops, transport and top schools.
Large 701 sq ft one‑bed apartment with high ceilings and period features
This first‑floor one‑bedroom apartment sits within a handsome late‑Victorian terrace on Draycott Place, in the heart of Chelsea. High corniced ceilings, a bay sash window and a decorative fireplace give the reception room strong period character and a light, airy feel. The bedroom includes an en‑suite bathroom and large windows that capture daytime sun.
At about 701 sq ft the flat is unusually large for a central London one‑bed and will suit a single buyer or couple wanting spacious rooms rather than a compact studio. The apartment benefits from a long lease (116 years remaining) and no known flood risk. Excellent mobile signal and fast broadband support home working, while nearby transport links, shops, cafes and top local schools add everyday convenience.
There are practical points to note. The building’s solid brick walls are likely uninsulated, and heating runs off electric boiler/radiators — expect higher running costs than gas‑heated properties. Council tax is described as quite expensive. The property has no private outdoor space and presents a street/urban outlook only. Crime levels in the local area are reported as very high, which may be a consideration for buyers prioritising security.
Overall this is a characterful Chelsea apartment with generous internal space and period detail, suitable for a first‑time buyer or buy‑to‑let investor who values location and room sizes but is prepared to manage higher service and running costs and lack of outside space.
