All it takes is one look to know this home is located in elegant Chelsea. From its stunning living room with its large windows, wood floors, ornate fireplace and antique furnishings to its marble-top kitchen table and beautiful artwork throughout, there’s a feeling of stately sophistication here that feels as grand as it does comfortable. Spend your mornings curled up on the plump sofas with a cup of tea and a book from the shelves, or luxuriate under the master en-suite’s tiled rainfall shower. Evenings call for soirées around the dining table over a meal and a glass of wine (we love the clever wine storage integrated into the wall) or heading out to one of the cosy, intimate bars and pubs tucked away in Chelsea’s scenic side-streets. Speaking of going out to explore, you’ve got plenty to see and do within easy walking distance. The iconic King’s Road is just a five-minute walk, Sloane Square is reachable in twenty, while South Kensington’s world-class museums are a fifteen-minute stroll from your door. Please note all stays of 8 nights or more include complimentary weekly cleaning, linen changes and replenishment of toiletries.

Local guide
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...
