Set within a Grade II listed Georgian terrace on Sydney Street, this bright two-bedroom maisonette offers generous ceiling heights, elegant cornicing and large sash windows that flood the lower and upper floors with light. The ground floor reception flows to a dining area and contemporary kitchen, which opens to a west-facing private garden — rare for central Chelsea. Two ensuite bedrooms and built-in storage suit a household seeking comfort and period character in a central location.
Practical strengths include a very long lease (995 years) and two vaults providing extra storage or potential utility use. The property benefits from excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, and sits in a highly affluent, well‑served neighbourhood close to strong schools and local amenities.
Buyers should be aware this is a listed building: Grade II status will restrict alterations and can complicate refurbishment. The building uses a community heating scheme and solid brick walls likely without modern insulation; some energy upgrades will be limited and may require listed‑building consents. Service charges are above average and council tax is described as quite expensive.
This home best suits buyers who value central Chelsea character, a garden and long lease security, and who accept the responsibilities that come with listed status and communal building costs. For someone seeking an elegant, well‑located living space with period detail and outdoor space, this maisonette presents a rare central Chelsea opportunity.
