London city living doesn’t come much more elegant and refined than this. Standing proud in a leafy pocket of Chelsea, you’ll find this handsome townhouse. Spread out across four floors, it’s all fresh, white interiors with polished wooden floors that glide you from one lofty room to another. The hosts have sensitively retained the character of the period home, with a bespoke butler-style kitchen made for action and beautifully serene bedrooms. But the real pièce de résistance is found at the top of this townhouse. Open the doors to reveal a fabulous roof terrace, with a spacious decking area boasting enough space to lounge and dine. Ensconced by whitewash walls and characterful London chimney tops, the spot offers stunning views of the city's skyline. Perfect for an alfresco lunch or sunset drinks, we dare you to find an outdoor private space in Chelsea quite like this. And if you can bear to part with the terrace, you’ll find plenty of hustle and bustle close by. Well-heeled Kings Road is less than a ten-minute stroll away, or delve deeper into the city by hopping on the train at West Brompton (ten minutes on foot). Now, how's that for a location?
