Terraced house for sale in Elystan Place, Chelsea, London SW3

Six bedroom house on a popular Chelsea street with modern interiors and south-facing terraces

Entering the house on the raised ground floor, the front door opens directly onto a spacious reception room occupying almost the entire floor. Internal windows look across to the dining room, while a French door leads up onto the terrace. Meanwhile, on the half-landing, there is a study with additional access to the terrace.

The dining room is on the ground floor, an unusually wide space with a guest loo in the corner. Downstairs, on the lower ground floor, is an equally wide kitchen, with a central breakfast bar and a separate eating area, well-lit from overhead skylights and a small patio.

This floor also contains a pair of bedrooms. One of them is partitioned by a pair of doors, with a bathroom opposite to create a private suite, and a pair of French doors opening onto another patio. Meanwhile, the second bedroom has direct access to a utility room and an additional bathroom in the basement of the house, forming a possible staff suite.

On the first floor, three bedrooms share a bathroom, creating a family-friendly space. The second floor is entirely occupied by an impressive principal bedroom with an ensuite bathroom and a dressing room. This room also has a balcony, as well as access to a second terrace.

The house was previously owned by an interior designer and the contemporary interiors are in excellent condition. Its sophisticated use of levels and careful placement of windows and lightwells results in bright and spacious rooms that connect easily with one another. Furthermore, the open tread staircase with glass bannister is a beautiful feature that accentuates this stylish effect.

The property benefits from several terraces, arranged over different floors. This includes a paved terrace on the raised ground floor with space for outdoor dining, and a decked terrace on the second floor, along with a balcony. All of these terraces face south-east, ensuring they receive light throughout the day. The roof of the property is also accessible.

Elystan Place is a fascinating street with a blend of architecture from across the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries. It connects to Cale Street and Chelsea Green, with its mix of restaurants and cafes, as well a butcher, bakery and greengrocer, evoking the village-like atmosphere of old Chelsea.<br /><br />
