A stone-tiled hallway introduces the home with understated elegance. To one side, a generous double reception runs the full depth of the house. Period details shine here: ornate cornicing skims high ceilings, a carved stone fireplace forms a striking focal point and full-height sash windows draw in abundant natural light. One end is arranged for relaxed seating, the other designed for hosting with a marble table and pouffe chairs. At the end of the hall, a private study enjoys courtyard garden views framed by a Crittall-style door.
Property information
Overview
Set on the site of a former Victorian dairy and fronted by an untouched stucco façade, Oakley Gardens presents a classic first impression. Step inside and the tone shifts; contemporary design and sustainable innovation redefine this townhouse. Across a generous footprint, bespoke detailing, considered outdoor spaces and a calm, cohesive aesthetic set the scene for modern living.
The living spaces
The garden level centres around a welcoming open-plan kitchen and dining room, brightly illuminated by a skylight and large rear windows. A marble-topped wooden island anchors the space, complemented by shaker cabinetry, a Lacanche range cooker and an Officine Gullo sink – perfect for culinary enthusiasts. Beyond, an archway clad in dusky-pink tiles reveals a walk-in pantry. To the front, a cosy family room sets the scene for informal evenings, while a boot room with direct garden access brings everyday practicality.
Bedrooms & Bathrooms
Upstairs, a refined palette and period detailing create a sense of calm across the sleeping quarters. The principal suite spans the first floor, complete with bespoke joinery, a velvet headboard and a marble-clad en suite. Here, dual vanities and twin rainfall showers add a touch of luxury. A pink-toned dressing room with a statement ceiling offers a stylish storage solution.
The top floor is arranged as a Serene guest retreat. An upholstered bed sits against olive-toned walls, opening onto a private roof terrace. A family bathroom serves this floor, where rustic red panelling, checkerboard tiling and an arched alcove bath combine style with practicality.
Outdoor Spaces
Beyond the Crittall-style doors, the courtyard garden offers a tranquil outdoor escape. Whitewashed walls, raised flower beds and built-in bench seating frame a private, low-maintenance space designed for relaxed al fresco dining.

The neighbourhood
The best of Chelsea is at your doorstep. Start your mornings with a vinyasa flow session at Triyoga followed by easy-going brunch at Bluebird.
Head to the boutiques that line The King’s Road then stop at the Saatchi Gallery for contemporary art. Stroll upwards to the world-class museums of South Kensington, or down for long walks along the Embankment.
