Do you have a question about this home or the local area?

Situated in a lovely residential area, this typical townhouse combines elegant furnishings, ornate antiques and exposed white stone to paint the picture of traditional British style. The star of the show is the private outside space, complete with a luscious green garden, plenty of seating and billowing flowers. We could think of nothing better than spending quiet mornings sat out here with friends or family. Stepping back into the home through large patio doors, you'll find a beautiful marble-topped island kitchen with chic brass breakfast stools that makes for a great spot to enjoy morning coffees on those drizzly days. Then there's a cosy and inviting living space with an intricate fireplace, soft furnishings and a whole library collection of literature and art books. Take your pick off the shelf and settle down in the sunlit conservatory – it's a real calming presence. When you can bring yourself to peel away from the rocking chair, you're right in the thick of things here. With upscale shopping, luxury boutiques and classy cafés lining Chelsea's infamous King's Road – a twenty-one-minute walk from your door – from here, the stunning V&A Museum is a short nineteen-minute stroll away. On top of this,...
