Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This charismatic apartment contains one of the finest bedrooms we’ve seen. As well as the luxurious bed, it has a beautiful ordained fireplace, a rocking chair and even a bathtub tucked away in the corner of the room. Similarly luxurious is the lounge, where sumptuous sofas are contrasted by dark-wood features. There’s only a basic main toilet, and a small kitchen – but the Chelsea location makes these flaws forgivable. You’re close to great restaurants and in walking distance of South Kensington’s museums.

Home truths
While it is quite exciting to have a bathtub in the middle of the bedroom, this might not appeal to all guests
The main toilet in the hallway is a saniflo toilet, meaning you can’t flush anything more than a few sheets of toilet paper
The kitchen is big enough to prepare simple meals but not the place to flex your culinary muscles
This home is underneath a flight path, so planes can be heard flying overhead

Local guide
About Earl's Court
Kensington’s more down-to-earth neighbour, Earl’s Court is a well-rounded base to explore West London – and beyond. Relaxed restaurants, traditional pubs and leafy side streets characterise the neighbourhood. Make sure you visit The Troubadour, an iconic music venue that hosted Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell in its prime. You’re more likely to walk in on a lowkey jazz session these days, performed under a decades-old collection of instruments...
