Cheyne Walk, Chelsea, London

Set back behind its own front garden on one of Chelsea’s most storied addresses, this six-bedroom period house extends to over 4,800 sq ft and offers rare flexibility, character and scale. Arranged across multiple floors and served by a lift, it combines elegant entertaining space with exceptional outdoor areas, including a large rear garden, a separate summer house and a roof terrace with a bar and jacuzzi.



The ground floor is centred around a charming dining room that gives the house a warm, atmospheric heart. Beyond, the rear garden feels unexpectedly private and picturesque, with a paved terrace leading to a detached summer house that adds a quietly bohemian note. The kitchen and utility spaces are also arranged on this floor, offering a practical layout for day-to-day family life.



On the first floor, the principal reception room is particularly impressive, with generous proportions, high ceilings and a broad bay window framing direct views of the Thames. A separate study sits alongside, providing a quieter retreat.



The principal bedroom suite occupies much of the second floor and is arranged with a dressing room and walk-in wardrobes, while the remaining bedrooms are spread across the upper levels. On the lower ground floor, a bedroom, reception room and kitchenette create the option of a self-contained flat for guests, staff or older children.



At roof level, the terrace has been designed for entertaining, with a bar, jacuzzi and far-reaching views across Chelsea and the river. Together with the garden and summer house, it gives the house an unusual sense of openness and escape for such a central London setting.



Cheyne Walk is one of Chelsea’s most coveted addresses, a picturesque stretch along the Thames with a long-standing association with artists, writers and musicians. Moments from the King’s Road and Chelsea’s best-known restaurants, galleries and boutiques, it offers a rare combination of history, beauty and riverside living.
