5 bed property to rent

Walton Place, London, London SW3

Description

Behind a classic white stucco façade on Walton Place, this five-bedroom house unfolds across five floors, with over 3,100 sq ft of internal space and a layout that balances formal entertaining with more relaxed, day-to-day living. The proportions are generous throughout, with high ceilings and a series of rooms that feel both distinct and well connected.

The first floor is given over to a full-width reception room, where tall sash windows draw in natural light from the front and open onto a balcony. The scale here is immediately apparent, with ceiling heights that elevate the space and allow for a more formal arrangement of seating. Cornicing and period detailing have been retained, while the overall finish leans clean and contemporary.

On the ground floor, the house shifts into a more informal feel. A dining room sits to the front, while the kitchen is positioned to the rear, opening into a conservatory that acts as an additional living space. Glazing runs along the back, bringing in views of the garden and softening the transition between inside and out. The garden itself is well enclosed, with space for outdoor seating and planting, offering a sense of privacy that is not always found so centrally.

The lower ground floor extends the living space further, with a secondary kitchen, utility room and a large room currently arranged as a games room or additional bedroom. This level has its own access and works well for guests, staff or older children, with a degree of independence from the main house.

Upstairs, the bedroom accommodation is arranged across the upper floors. The principal suite occupies the second floor, with a walk-in wardrobe and an ensuite bathroom. Two further bedrooms are positioned on the top floor, served by additional bathrooms, while another bedroom sits on the lower ground level, allowing for flexibility depending on how the house is used.

The specification is contemporary, with air conditioning, built-in storage and modern bathrooms, while retaining the underlying character of the building. The layout is particularly well suited to buyers looking for a central London base that can accommodate both entertaining and family life without compromise.

Walton Place sits between Knightsbridge and Chelsea, within easy reach of Sloane Square and the King’s Road. The surrounding streets are lined with independent shops, restaurants and long-established institutions, while Hyde Park is a short walk away, offering open green space in the centre of the city.
