6 bed detached house for sale

Chelsea Park Gardens, Chelsea, London SW3

Delightful house with unusually wide lateral layout on a sought-after Chelsea street

Stepping into the house on the ground floor, the entrance lobby leads through to a central staircase hall. The position of the staircase gives the house a wide lateral layout, while an overhead skylight brings down added brightness.

On one side lies a dining room with an ornate fireplace and a broad bay window. On the other side lies a reception room with a French door leading out into the garden. This level also contains a kitchen with separate street access and a bedroom.

The first floor offers a wide reception room, with south-west facing windows that give views over the garden square. This floor also offers a principal bedroom suite, featuring bedroom, bathroom and dressing room.

The second floor contains four more bedrooms, sharing a bathroom, along with a convenient linen cupboard.

This property was constructed in 1920. It has been home to a lawyer, a banker, a circus proprietor, and a company director with aristocratic ancestry.

A much-loved family home, it was acquired in 1951, making it the longest-owned property on the street. The property was decorated in a traditional style in 1954, when rationing limited interior design budgets to £1000. Since then, the house has been beautifully cared for, but now has the opportunity to be transformed into a spacious Chelsea sanctuary.

The house includes a paved rear garden with plenty of space for outdoor dining. Furthermore, the property is set back on a private road with parking outside the frontage.

Residents also have access to the communal gardens directly opposite.

The houses on Chelsea Park Road were constructed between the wars in the Arts and Crafts style. The aim was to create a sense of country living in the heart of the city, resulting in a low-build neighbourhood of spacious homes that are popular with families.

From here, the King’s Road and the Fulham Road are within walking distance. Furthermore, the neighbourhood contains many outstanding shops, restaurants and schools.
