Fernshaw Road, London, SW10

A most charming freehold house in the heart of Chelsea, SW10.

Description

This is an especially appealing Chelsea house with excellent proportions, abundant natural light and a wonderful sense of space throughout. The property has been continuously altered and updated over the years and is traditionally decorated, retaining many attractive original features while benefiting from significant structural and layout improvements.
The house has been thoughtfully opened up and reconfigured to suit modern living, resulting in generous open plan accommodation across several floors.

Raised Ground Floor

The raised ground floor opens into a spacious open plan double reception room, a beautiful and elegant space with original cornicing, shutters, fireplace, open staircase and double aspect light. This is an impressive and versatile room, ideal for both entertaining and everyday living.
To the rear of this floor is a study, currently used as a library, which opens via French doors onto a raised terrace. The terrace is large enough for a table and chairs and provides a lovely space to sit and enjoy views over the garden. From the terrace, a metal staircase leads down to the garden below.

Lower Ground Floor

The lower ground floor is entirely open plan (with the exception of the guest WC) and is flooded with light from both the front and rear, making it genuinely double aspect.

This level comprises a striking Harvey Jones “Linear” kitchen, fully equipped with high quality appliances including a Fisher & Paykel fridge and Smeg oven. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the dining area and utility space, creating a highly functional and sociable environment.

The utility area forms part of the open plan layout and features further Harvey Jones cabinetry along with bifold French doors that open directly onto the garden, providing the principal access outdoors. There are also French doors opening onto a lightwell, a guest WC, vault storage, and access to a front basement area.

First Floor

The first floor is arranged around the substantial principal bedroom, which enjoys two large French doors opening onto a balcony. This floor also includes the principal bathroom, a second bathroom located on the half landing, and a well proportioned second bedroom.

Second Floor


The second floor offers a light filled open plan reception room, again double aspect, with a vaulted ceiling and large skylight, making this a particularly impressive and adaptable living space.

From this level, access leads to the large roof terrace, which measures approximately 18’3” x 16’1”. This exceptional outdoor space significantly enhances the house and is ideal for entertaining, relaxing, or working outdoors.

The house benefits from a beautiful double garden laid with York stone paving and mature planting. Two gardens have been combined to create an unusually generous outdoor space for this style of Chelsea house. The garden is landscaped and tranquil, with established trees and planting.

Location

Fernshaw Road is a quiet residential street in Chelsea, ideally positioned approximately 100 metres from the King’s Road, with immediate access to its renowned shops, cafés and restaurants, and close to the bars and dining on the Fulham Road.

The area is exceptionally well served by numerous bus routes providing swift access to Sloane Square, South Kensington and Earl’s Court, making day to day travel both easy and convenient.
