Tucked away on a quiet Chelsea street, this townhouse has the calm of a home that's been considered from the ground up – Japanese-inspired touches, curated bookshelves, and two separate living areas spread across three floors. The first-floor lounge opens onto a terrace where alfresco mornings come easily, while a patio off the kitchen adds another outdoor pocket for warmer days. Families are well catered for, and air conditioning makes a real difference in summer. King's Road, independent restaurants, and supermarkets are all a short walk away.

Home truths
At full occupancy, one guest will sleep on the sofa bed in the living area.
The twin bedroom is quite small with limited storage space. However, it has everything you need for a comfortable night's sleep.
If you're travelling with a baby, a cot and high chair are available – request them from your host in advance to make sure they're ready on arrival.
The townhouse spans three floors with no lift, so you'll be navigating stairs regularly.
The nearest Tube station is about a fifteen-minute walk, but buses stop close by and connect you to South Kensington Underground in around five minutes – a handy alternative if you'd rather not walk.

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. It attracts this set for good reason - it's very central and the period houses that line the streets are charming. Sloane Square...
