8 bed town house to rent

Cheyne Walk, London SW3

Set on one of Chelsea’s most prestigious riverside addresses, this exceptional townhouse on Cheyne Walk offers commanding south-facing views over the River Thames and more than 7,600 sq ft of beautifully designed accommodation, including a discreet two-bedroom mews house linked via a secure underground tunnel.

The main house extends to approximately 6,008 sq ft and is arranged over five floors, serviced by a passenger lift. The first floor forms the heart of the home, where an impressive full-width reception room enjoys wonderful river views through tall period windows. Below, the principal entertaining spaces have been thoughtfully reimagined for modern living, with a stunning dining room flowing into a contemporary Boffi kitchen. Full-width bi-folding doors open directly onto a private landscaped garden, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living.

The main residence comprises six bedrooms, five bathrooms and multiple reception rooms, complemented by a cellar, offering outstanding flexibility for both family life and large-scale entertaining. Throughout, refined contemporary finishes sit harmoniously alongside the building’s historic character.

Connected via a subterranean passage, the adjoining mews house (approximately 1,672 sq ft) provides two further bedrooms, a bathroom and a reception room, making it ideal for guests, staff or independent living. Access is available either through the main house or via a gated private mews entrance, which also leads to double garaging, ensuring complete discretion and security.

Outside, the garden features generous terraces designed for summer gatherings, while the rare combination of riverside setting, mews accommodation and secure parking makes this a uniquely versatile Chelsea home.

Cheyne Walk is one of London’s most storied residential streets, lining the north bank of the Thames beneath mature trees and elegant period façades. Despite its tranquil riverside atmosphere, the boutiques, restaurants and galleries of Chelsea are moments away, with excellent connections to Knightsbridge and the West End
