Gunter Grove, Chelsea, London, SW10

Set back from Gunter Grove’s stucco-fronted townhouses, this three-bedroom home enjoys a welcome sense of privacy. Behind a discreet glazed door, an internal courtyard with outdoor seating adds to the calming atmosphere. Inside, uplifting gallery-like proportions unfurl. A double-height reception room crowned with a row of skylights is bright and inviting. White walls and wooden floors offer a neutral canvas for characterful furniture and vibrant artwork. Under the void, an L-shaped crushed velvet sofa and armchairs are angled towards a TV and integrated shelving for books and music collections.

On the opposite side of the room, the kitchen features a stainless-steel topped island and breakfast bar. Pull up a stool for informal meals; for dinner parties, a six-seater dining table is backdropped by bespoke neon lighting that casts a warm red glow. Sleek surfaces, laminated cabinets and mirrored splashbacks keep the space ergonomic and streamlined.

A glass-fronted staircase leads up to the first-floor bedrooms. In the principal, antique and reclaimed furniture inject personality and comfort, while a walk-in wardrobe takes care of the practicalities, and a balcony invites the outside in. Also on this floor, a bright twin bedroom with in-built storage and a contemporary bathroom featuring a bathtub and separate shower, finished with blue glass and mosaic tiles. A third bedroom is found on the ground floor complete with its own en suite shower room, making it ideal for visiting guests.
