About this property
Elegant family home with summer house and lift on one of London’s most historic streets
Stepping into the house on the raised ground floor via a secure gated entrance, the front hall opens onto a well-proportioned kitchen. This includes an informal breakfast area lit by a large south-facing window.
At the end of the hallway lies a generous dining room in an opulent classical style. Three French doors open onto the garden, while a magnificent skylight floods this space with natural light. This floor also features a utility room and a guest WC.
The lower ground floor can serve as a self-contained flat. It currently features a bedroom with an ensuite bathroom and patio access, a kitchenette and a second bedroom/reception room. This level also offers a wine cellar, a storage vault and separate street access.
The first floor features an impressive drawing room with high ceilings and a rounded bay window overlooking the river. It also features a study and another guest WC.
The second floor is entirely occupied by the magnificent principal suite. This includes a bathroom with a generous bath, a bright and tasteful bedroom, a dressing room and two further walk-in wardrobes.
The third floor offers three more bedrooms and two more bathrooms, one of them ensuite. There is a final bedroom on the second floor half-landing.
The beautiful interiors of the house have been well-preserved and the main living areas are decorated with a traditional sense of splendour. The property is unusual in not being listed, while a lift connects each level.
The house includes an attractive rear garden with a dining area, a paved pathway and planted borders. It leads to a generous summer house or garden studio that can be used as guest suite, offering kitchen, bathroom, a living area and a mezzanine sleeping area. Meanwhile, two stylish contemporary skylights fill this space with light.
Unusually for this street, the property benefits from a superb roof terrace. It includes a jacuzzi, an outdoor bar and a sheltered seating area with 360-degree views. From here, a wide stretch of the River Thames is visible, from Battersea Power Station to Chelsea Harbour and beyond.
The house is also set back from the street with a front garden giving added privacy.
Cheyne Walk is one of the most historic streets in London. Over the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the street was home to numerous celebrated figures, including the writers George Eliot and Bertrand Russell, the painters Dante Gabriel Rossetti and J.M.W. Turner, the actress Elizabeth Taylor and the politician David Lloyd George. More recently it has been occupied by famous figures from business and the arts, as well as royalty.
Today, the street is conveniently positioned. To the south is the Thames Embankment, with the Albert Bridge leading to Battersea Park. To the north is the King’s Road and its excellent range of restaurants and shops. In addition, the beautiful Chelsea Physic Garden is just a short walk away. Furthermore, Lindsey House, the oldest house in Kensington and Chelsea, is next door.
