This exceptional Chelsea residence offers a rare combination of architectural heritage, creative provenance, and versatile living space. Built in 1911 for watercolourist Cecil Arthur Hunt by Ralph Knott, renowned architect of County Hall, this striking home is a textbook example of a London studio house, purpose-built to provide both elegant accommodation and a dramatic artist's studio.

Arranged over four principal floors and extending to 2,937 sq ft, the property includes three generous bedrooms, a magnificent studio space, formal and informal reception rooms, a roof garden, and a private garage with off street parking, an increasingly rare amenity in central Chelsea.

The ground floor opens with a spacious entrance hall, leading to a formal reception room on one side and a large eat-in kitchen on the other. The kitchen has been thoughtfully fitted with a central island and integrated appliances, creating a practical and welcoming hub ideal for relaxed dining and entertaining. To the rear of the house, a ground floor bedroom suite offers flexibility as a guest bedroom, home office, or additional family room.

The first floor hosts the generous principal suite, complete with dressing room, boudoir, en suite bathroom and access to a roof garden, perfect for afternoon sun and al fresco dining. A second en suite bedroom and an additional cloakroom complete this floor.

Before reaching the top floor, there is a bright study on the mezzanine level. At the heart of the upper level is a dramatic artist's studio, featuring double-height ceilings, a striking fireplace, and vast windows. The scale is truly magnificent. Nearby, a panelled library alcove and a hidden bar offer West-facing views down this enchanting street.

Throughout, the property has been sympathetically modernised to an exceptional standard. Classic features such as decorative plasterwork, high ceilings, and timber flooring are paired with high-quality contemporary finishes to create a home that is both refined and welcoming.

Rich in history and beautifully conceived, this is an extraordinary home in one of Chelsea's most sought-after addresses.

Mallord Street is one of Chelsea's most charming and historic addresses, moments from the King's Road and all its amenities. Lined with handsome Arts and Crafts-style period houses, the street has long been associated with artistic and literary residents. It was named after J.M.W. Turner (Mallord was his middle name) and has housed notable creatives including A.A. Milne and Hungarian pianist Louis Kentner.

The location offers easy access to Sloane Square and South Kensington Underground stations, as well as Chelsea's renowned schools, galleries, boutiques, and fine dining. Despite its centrality, Mallord Street retains a peaceful, residential feel, making it one of the most desirable addresses in SW3.
