Cheyne, Cheyne Walk, London, SW3 5TR

Description Standing on Chelsea’s most distinguished riverside terrace, this exceptional Grade II listed Georgian townhouse dates from circa 1760 and has been masterfully reimagined for modern family life.

Behind its handsome façade lies a house of magnificent proportions, complete with a large private garden and an original mews house to the rear, now seamlessly integrated to create a rare and wonderfully flexible London home with the further benefit of a double garage.

The main house has been thoughtfully reconfigured to provide six double bedrooms served by a lift, while the self-contained mews offers two additional bedrooms and independent living space.

The mews can be accessed directly from the garden or via a discreet subterranean passageway from the principal residence, allowing for effortless connection or complete privacy as required.

Ceiling heights are impressive throughout, and the principal reception rooms enjoy uninterrupted views across the River Thames towards Albert Bridge.

The house sits behind a gated front garden, further buffered by the Chelsea Embankment communal gardens.

The ground floor has been designed with family life and entertaining in mind: A generous dining room occupies the front of the house, while to the rear a substantial eat-in kitchen by fbc opens through full-width bi-fold doors onto the beautifully landscaped 55-foot garden.

Cheyne Walk is among the most coveted addresses in London, a historic terrace of some of Chelsea’s finest houses.

Number 23 is one of the very few to combine a garden of this scale with separate mews accommodation and secure garaging, a combination seldom found on the river.

The King’s Road lies just 0.4 miles away, Sloane Square Underground Station 0.8 miles, and Battersea Heliport 1.3 miles, placing the house at the heart of prime Chelsea living.
