Inside, heritage detail meets modern design. Herringbone floors, laid in an intricate cube pattern, lead through steel-framed glass doors into the formal living room; classical cornicing, an ornate fireplace and antique furnishings set a sophisticated tone here. A Portavini Bar by Soho Home anchors the space for entertaining, framed by contemporary artwork and comfortable seating.
An elegant Chelsea house to rent blends period charm with modern luxury across four light-filled floors.
Property information
Overview
Tucked away on one of Chelsea’s quieter thoroughfares, a red-brick mid-terrace house unfolds over four expansive floors. Set discreetly behind a private front patio, the home offers a rare sense of seclusion – despite its proximity to the bustle of the King’s Road. Favourites such as Stanley’s and Rabbit are just moments away, perfect for a convivial dinner before retreating to the home’s sanctuary beyond its grand front door.
The living spaces
Descending the LED-lit staircase, the heart of the home reveals itself: an open-plan kitchen, living and dining area. Subtly separated by a statement wooden bar with vibrant orange accents, the kitchen is a blend of style and function. Navy cabinetry is offset by gold hardware and pale marble surfaces, while a LaCanche range, industrial extractor and central island complete the culinary scene. In the living area, a skylight in the double-height ceiling casts light over the room, while vast white walls and a tranquil lightwell courtyard enhance the sense of space. At the far end, a dining area for eight sits beside full-height glass doors that open onto the lush vertical garden. A discreet gym, tucked away behind a hidden door, completes the lower-ground floor.
Bedrooms & bathrooms
Upstairs, the first floor belongs entirely to the principal suite. Neutral tones and antique touches shape a sanctuary of calm, while a sliding door reveals a walk-through dressing area. The en suite bathroom features dual marble vanities, an intricately tiled rainfall shower and a freestanding rolltop bath – an indulgent treat after a long day of exploring. The top floor hosts three additional bedrooms and two well-appointed bathrooms, while a fourth guest bedroom is tucked behind a pair of antique hand-carved Chinese doors near the home’s entrance.
Outdoor space
Open bifold doors from the reception room onto a landscaped garden. A lawn and patio make for versatile outdoor living, while an egg-chair and barbecue ensure al fresco hosting comes naturally.
