Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
You'll find this home among a row of traditional red-brick townhouses in South Kensington. Safe to say, the location is perfect – not only are shops and restaurants a leisurely stroll away, but the Natural History Museum and other must-visits are within easy reach, too. The home itself is charming and cosy. In the living area, comfy sofas beckon for a post-sightseeing kip, while the roomy kitchen has everything you need to whip up dinner. All the bedrooms are on the lower ground floor, so some stairs are required. But the cherry on top is the access to the communal garden, ideal for enjoying the sunshine.

About Chelsea
In the 1960s, Chelsea's Kings Road was the stomping ground for the hippest young things in town. Nowadays, the area is more conservative in its reputation - you'll share the immaculate pavements with affluent business people from around the world and plenty of blow-dried ladies of leisure.
