Cheyne Gardens, Chelsea, London SW3, United Kingdom

Description

Set behind a distinguished red-brick façade on Cheyne Gardens, this three-bedroom apartment has all the hallmarks of the area’s late-Victorian architecture: Tall sash windows, intricate cornicing and a natural sense of elegance. Arranged over the ground and lower-ground floors, and with its own front door and private garden, it feels more like a house than an apartment.

The ground floor is wonderfully light. At the front, a west-facing reception room is framed by an impressive bay window and almost floor-to-ceiling panes, ensuring the room is flooded with afternoon sun. Period details, soaring ceilings, a stone fireplace and decorative plasterwork, give it character and warmth. The dining room sits just behind in an easy, open flow, with leafy views over the garden. A modern kitchen opens directly onto the terrace, perfectly suited to summer lunches or evening drinks. A discreet powder room completes this level.

Downstairs are three peaceful double bedrooms. Each has fitted cabinetry, while two enjoy en suite bathrooms. Two of the bedrooms have direct access to the garden. A utility room keeps household tasks neatly tucked away.

The garden itself is generous by Chelsea standards, mature trees and well-kept borders create a secluded, green outlook, surrounding a beautiful terrace for outdoor entertaining, while a wooden shed provides useful storage.

Cheyne Gardens is one of Chelsea’s most admired addresses. Its deep red-brick townhouses, often softened by white stucco, are indicative of the boom in the area at the turn-of-the-century. From here, the King’s Road is moments away, offering everything from long-established neighbourhood restaurants to independent boutiques and smart design shops. Sloane Square is close by, as are the Thames Path and Battersea Park for riverside walks and greenery. Excellent transport connections at Sloane Square and South Kensington make the rest of London easily accessible.
