Charming and cosy, this apartment boasts a splendid location in Chelsea. It’s on the western end of the King’s Road, with its vibrant atmosphere, boutiques, and cafes, and is just a short walk from the River Thames. Excellent transport links make exploring the rest of London a breeze. The modern apartment is small but perfectly formed, with a warm and welcoming living room brightened by the light that floods through the south-facing window. You’ll have your pick of restaurants nearby, but there’s a convenient kitchen should you wish to cook.
