About this property
This attractive period house is available for sale for the first time in over fifty years. The property is well situated on the western side of this highly regarded Chelsea garden square.
The house has a good layout, with the dining room overlooking the communal gardens, and the kitchen behind. The elegant drawing room is upstairs on the first floor, followed by a principal suite on the second floor and two further bedrooms with a bathroom on the third floor. The lower ground floor is set up with two bedrooms, a laundry room and bathroom.
The west facing garden is laid with York paving and has an open aspect south. This is complemented by a roof terrace with fine views west towards St Luke's Church.
Historical Note:
Markham Square lies on the site of an old orchard - part of Box Farm - which was acquired by Matthew Markham in the late 18th Century. Following the Markham Square Act 1825, the first houses were completed on the west side of today's garden in the early 1840s. The remaining houses were built during Queen Victoria's reign, and the garden was planted as an orchard of flowering cherries, almonds and peaches in 1937 to celebrate George vi's coronation.
After wwii, it was redesigned by the Royal Hospital Chelsea’s head gardener as a private country garden, notable for its light, open aspect and rare shrubs and trees.
