Chelsea has long been home to bohemian and artistic types: artists Whistler and Turner both owned houses in Chelsea, and the tradition continues. Situated by the river and benefiting from excellent transport links, property in Chelsea is always in demand.
Amenities in Chelsea
With the River Thames, Hyde Park and Battersea Park within walking distance, there's lots of scope for outdoor leisure pursuits. Chelsea is world renowned as the home to the Chelsea Flower Show which is held annually in the gardens of the Royal Hospital. Lesser known, but popular with herbalists and gardeners alike, is the Chelsea Physic Garden, tucked away in a quiet corner near the Embankment. For those with a cultural bent, the Royal Court Theatre in Sloane Square, now in its fiftieth year, continues to delight and, occasionally, shock.
However, Chelsea is also well known as a shopping destination, with the famous King's Road at its heart where you'll find most of the top retailers represented alongside cafes, bars and restaurants.
Schools in Chelsea are some of the best in the capital, attracting families to the area. Chelsea houses with substantial gardens are relatively rare, but there are still plenty of options for house hunters: Near the World's End on Beaufort Street there are mansion blocks of flats for sale and flats to rent; while smart, stucco properties can be found in Wellington Square and Tedworth Square; and off the King's Road there are streets of pretty cottages. Cheyne Walk, right on the river, is home to desirable Georgian homes, much in demand due to their enviable location. Prices range from nearly £392,000 for a one bedroom flat to over £5 million for a large five bedroom house - the average value of properties in Chelsea, according to the Primelocation Price Index, is £1,161,159. Estate agents in Chelsea are currently reporting a boom in the market in this area.
