£12.5m Design-Led Chelsea Pad & Art Collection For Sale

In sought-after Chelsea Park Gardens, a tranquil residential square just moments from the King’s Road, a historic, recently extended, remodelled and interior designed six bedroom terraced house, providing over 4,500 sq. ft. of cutting edge living space over five floors, with rear access to beautifully maintained communal gardens, is for sale for £12,500,000.

Within the exclusive and serene Carlyle Conservation Area, the house was built in Arts and Crafts style between 1914 and 1923 by the Sloane Stanley Estate, one of the oldest and most prestigious landowning estates in Chelsea. With a country house aesthetic designed by the architects Elms and Jupp, inspired by the eminent Norman Shaw, the attractive low-built cottage-style façade in reddish-brown brick belies the extraordinary scale and glamour of the home beyond, complete with a recently excavated lower-ground floor, designed for entertaining.

Arranged over four main floors, with a versatile mezzanine and loft area on the fifth, Chelsea Park Garden’s interiors have been given an exacting remodelling and contemporary design scheme, both perfect for family life and as a showcase for the current owner’s gallery-worthy collection of large-scale modern art (available via separate negotiation). Spaces are bathed in natural daylight via plentiful multi-paned original Arts and Crafts windows, complemented by a state-of-the-art lighting scheme, with grey herringbone flooring and air-conditioning installed throughout.

On the ground floor, on either side of the light-filled entrance hall, the 34-foot reception room and 29-foot kitchen are each entered via floor-to-ceiling aluminium-framed Crittall-style sliding doors. The kitchen is not only a functional space, but one of avant-garde beauty, with swathes of burnished metal on cabinetry, stone surfaces and a modernist central island. Its voluminous proportions also allow for a breakfast table and relaxed seating area, creating opportunities for socialising.

In the double reception room, a dark coffered ceiling and marble fireplace add warmth and stately grandeur, with plenty of space to also have a formal dining zone. Both rooms enjoy views of the home’s private, inviting paved patio area and over to the tranquil, lush communal gardens to the rear of the home, shared by residents of Chelsea Park Gardens.
