Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Is there anything more quintessentially West London than a handsome townhouse? This home on a quiet residential cul-de-sac in Chelsea is a fine example of exactly the sort of thing we mean. Inside, the design leans on traditional, with period features and antique furnishings rubbing shoulders with quaint landscape artwork and homely rugs on the floor. Tall sash windows bring in plenty of natural light and look out to sleepy treetop views on the upper floor. When it comes to getting to know the local area a little better, the first port of call should be the famous King's Road, only five minutes' walk away, which has a wealth of restaurants and boutiques to explore, as well as a couple of art galleries. The Victoria and Albert Museum is only thirteen minutes away on foot, too.

About South Kensington
South Kensington is probably most famous for being home to some of London’s top museums (The Victoria & Albert Museum, Natural History Museum, and Science Museum) and so you don’t need to wander far to see some of the city’s greatest treasures. World-class Hyde Park is just a stone’s throw away and there are plenty of great bars and cafes on the delightful pedestrianised end of Exhibition Road, packed full...
