The Little Boltons, Chelsea, London, SW10

Unusually large, lofty and light-filled family apartment in an impressive cornerVictorian villa set back from the street

Entering the flat on the raised ground floor, the front hall opens onto an exceptionally large living space. This includes an open-plan kitchen with a central island and a dining area, flowing through to a sitting area and study.

This superb space benefits from unusually high ceilings and elegant wooden floors. A broad bay window at the front and full-length French doors at the rear fill the room with natural light.

On the lower ground floor, the principal bedroom includes a generous bathroom with twin showers and a dressing room. There are three more bedrooms and two more bathrooms, one of them ensuite. This floor also offers a convenient utility room.

The flat is presented in immaculate condition, with impressive interiors blending classical and contemporary design details. Thanks to its end-of-terrace position, side windows create a triple aspect and add to the sense of brightness and space throughout.

The property includes a generous south-west facing garden with a lawn, planted borders and a paved area for outdoor dining. At the far end of the garden lies a garage with off-street parking that is currently being used as a home gym. The house is also set back from the street with a paved front garden giving added privacy.

The Boltons Conservation Area was laid out in the mid-nineteenth century as a new neighbourhood for London’s grandest families. Many of its streets are lined with double-fronted Italianate mansions set back from the road. The width and scale of these proprieties means they have drawn many celebrated residents over the year – including actors, singers and politicians.

Today, the Little Boltons is among the most sought-after addresses in London. The area is well supplied with local private schools, while the restaurants and shops of Chelsea and South Kensington are within easy reach.
