Tite Street, London, SW3 4JA

Recently refurbished to a high standard, the house successfully blends contemporary detailing with the scale and grandeur of a traditional Chelsea home.

The lower ground floor is configured as a generous informal living and family level, opening directly onto a private courtyard garden designed with Japanese tension ponds by Chelsea Gold Medal winner Andy Sturgeon.

This floor is supported by a utility room, a substantial vault and a discreet fifth bedroom suite, ideal for staff or guests with its own entrance from street level.

The raised ground floor centres on the kitchen and breakfast room, designed with both practicality and flow in mind.

Equipped with Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, the kitchen opens onto a west-facing terrace, providing a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor space.

A separate study on this floor could equally serve as an additional sitting room.

The first floor is arranged for more formal entertaining, with two elegant reception rooms positioned at the front and rear.

High ceilings, excellent natural light and balanced proportions make this level particularly effective for both entertaining and daily use.

The second floor accommodates two well-appointed bedroom suites, each with its own bathroom and good storage.

The third floor is given over entirely to the principal suite, comprising a generous bedroom, dressing rooms, an en suite bathroom and access to a private balcony, creating a quiet and self-contained retreat away from the main living areas.

The fourth floor provides a further bedroom suite with its own terrace on which there is a hot tub, along with access to a rooftop area offering open outlooks and an unusual degree of privacy for such a central Chelsea position.

Throughout the house, the finish is clean and contemporary, with underfloor heating, air conditioning, Lutron lighting and a passenger lift serving all but the top floor.

The layout has been carefully considered to balance formal entertaining with practical family living, while the various terraces and outdoor spaces add welcome depth and flexibility.

Set on one of Chelsea's most historic and sought-after streets, Tite Street has long been associated with artists, writers and designers.

The house is moments from the Chelsea Physic Garden and the Thames, with the shops, restaurants and galleries of Chelsea Green and King's Road close at hand.
