Kings Road, London, SW10

Behind a traditional façade on one of London’s most iconic streets, this classic townhouse fuses a traditional framework with modern-day function. Inside, five thoughtfully curated floors unfold with quiet sophistication, offering a sense of flow and flexibility that’s rarely found in central Chelsea.

The raised ground floor opens into a spacious double reception room – a refined welcome of white walls, wooden floors and tall ceilings. To the front, a bespoke sage-toned study space is framed by an arched window: an ideal home office with street views. To the rear, light pours in from overhead skylights, brightening a generous lounge that leads to a raised patio garden. Surrounded by neighbouring foliage and paved underfoot, it’s a quiet retreat with a welcoming air. For an elevated perspective, head to the second-floor terrace – a suntrap made for summer aperitifs.

Downstairs, the home opens up into a dynamic open-plan living space, tailored to the rhythm of everyday life. Warm wood cabinetry and frosted-glass storage line the kitchen, paired with a stainless steel cooker and tiling underfoot. The adjoining lounge takes a more relaxed turn – wooden flooring and sage joinery set the tone, while a skylight draws light across the built-in entertainment and bookcase wall, keeping the space as practical as it is peaceful.

Taking over the entire first floor, the principal suite features a bank of fitted wardrobes that keeps things streamlined, while tall sash windows invite in natural light. The en suite bathroom feels spa-like in scale and materiality – dual vanities, a walk-in rainfall shower and a statement rolltop tub.

Two further bedrooms are arranged on the upper floors, each occupying its own level and served by dedicated shower rooms – ideal for growing families or visiting guests. A fourth bedroom is found on the lower ground floor, complete with en suite and private access: a discreet and self-contained space perfect for a live-in nanny or long-stay guests.

All the delights Chelsea has to offer are on your doorstep at King’s Road. Begin the day working up a sweat with a vinyasa flow yoga session at Triyoga or caffeinating over brunch at Bluebird followed by a scenic stroll along the river. Window-shop on the King’s Road before dinner at Bottarga or La Famiglia. For special occasions, book a table at two-Michelin-starred Claude Bosi at Bibendum.
