The Vale, Chelsea, SW3

Grade II listed neo-Georgian townhouse with west-facing garden on one of Chelsea’s most beautiful streets

Entering the house on the ground floor, the front door opens onto an attractive formal dining room, flowing through to a central staircase hall. Beyond is a sitting room with double French doors that lead out into the garden and a wooden-beamed ceiling creating a sense of historic charm.

The lower ground floor features a modern kitchen with a central island and informal breakfast area. On one side is a convenient utility room and guest WC, on the other side is a patio with outdoor storage and separate street access.

This floor leads down to the generous basement extension. It includes a wine cellar, a family television room, and a gym that can be separated off with bi-folding doors. The whole area is illuminated with overhead skylights, while a separate staircase leads up to the garden.

The first floor features a superb drawing room with almost double-height ceilings forming a spectacular piano nobile. The tall sash windows, moulded ceilings and ornate fireplace add to the impression of scale and grandeur. Furthermore, the windows have a wonderful view down Mulberry Walk, with the open aspect furthering the sense of light and space.

The first floor also features a bedroom and a study on the upper half landing. The second floor consists of three bedrooms: one of them features an ensuite bathroom and walk-in wardrobe, while the other two share a bathroom.

The third floor is entirely occupied by the principal bedroom suite, offering a bedroom, a well-proportioned bathroom with a bath and a dressing room.

The house has been decorated in a sophisticated style, blending classical elegance with modern convenience. With its bright rooms and lofty proportions, it would make the perfect space for displaying art or entertaining. It also offers considerable storage space.

The house includes a paved, west-facing garden with plenty of space for outdoor entertaining. It also includes a glass-roofed garden studio giving access to the media room below.


The Vale is a beautiful, tree-lined street leading from the King’s Road to Elm Park Road. The Grade II listed houses on the western side were individually designed by F. E. Williams and built 1911 – 1913. Intended for artists, their neo-Georgian design evoked Chelsea’s prosperous eighteenth-century past.

The street is perfectly positioned for the many restaurants and shops of the King’s Road and the Fulham Road. Furthermore, the open spaces of Battersea Park are within walking distance.
