5 bed flat for sale

Manresa Road, London SW3

An outstanding five-bedroom apartment of approximately 6,649 sq ft, located at 21 Manresa Road in the heart of historic Chelsea, with a private west-facing garden, leading onto extensive communal gardens.
A private commission for the current owner by renowned architect and interior designer Finchatton, the apartment is fitted out to an exceptional standard of specification throughout, with full home automation, climate control, and rare natural materials.
At ground floor, an elegant entrance hall leads through to a sweeping floating staircase around a glass lift and on to a vast double reception room and dining space of nearly 1,000 sq ft, with an open-plan and a large study (22’11” x 15’6”).
Arranged over the raised ground, garden, and basement floors, the property features exceptionally large rooms for London and tall ceilings (3m+ in the main rooms), making it a generous family home and ideal for entertaining.
21 Manresa Road is located just off the Kings Road and has a rich past, starting as the South-West London Polytechnic in 1895 and later becoming the Chelsea School of Art by the 1930s. It was then used by King’s College London as a research facility until 2002.
It was later rebuilt behind the original Victorian façade and developed into just 15 luxurious apartments of vast size and scale. It is commonly regarded as one of the most prestigious and discreet developments in London with the most outstanding calibre of residents.
The property offers the combined benefits of a private house and a secure modern apartment building. Accessed off the main lobby with 24-hour porter and security or via the underground garage with number plate recognition, the apartment also benefits from the many features of a house, including a private internal lift, internal garage, private swimming pool, spa, gym, and cinema, along with both a large private garden and extensive communal gardens – tended to by a full-time gardener.
