Set on a quiet street just off the Kings Road, this expansive Chelsea apartment offers nearly 2,000 sq ft of well-proportioned living over two levels. High Edwardian ceilings, tall bay windows and original decorative moldings give the reception rooms grand scale and excellent natural light. Two terraces — one off the kitchen/dining room and one accessed from the principal suite — extend living outdoors in a central location.
The bedroom floor currently provides two large double bedrooms, both with en suite bathrooms; the principal suite includes a dressing room/walk‑in wardrobe and an additional small room that could serve as a study or nursery. Practical advantages include a long lease (c.175 years) and a chain-free sale, making the apartment straightforward to purchase and renovate to personal taste.
Families will value proximity to highly rated primary and independent schools, leafy streets and high-end shopping along Sloane Square and the Kings Road. The property’s generous footprint and period character create scope for reconfiguration or contemporary updating while retaining strong Chelsea appeal.
Notable practical points: the flat is leasehold with an average service charge of c.£3,000, and the building is in a very central area with a very high local crime rate reported. Broadband speeds are currently very slow, which may affect home working or streaming until upgraded. Overall, this is a substantial, characterful central-London home that balances immediate liveability with clear potential for modernisation.
