Property Of The Week: Redesigned Artist’s Retreat On Chelsea’s Historic Tite Street

A breathtaking one-bedroom apartment on the legendary Tite Street, rich with cultural heritage, is now for sale by Dexters for £1,495,000.

The property is located in the heart of the Chelsea artistic enclave, which has served as a magnet for the world’s greatest minds, shaping its reputation as an intellectual and creative powerhouse.

Imagine living on the same street once graced by luminaries such as the legendary playwright Oscar Wilde—whose blue plaque marks his tenancy—the pioneering American painter James McNeill Whistler, and the revered portraitist John Singer Sargent. This deep, creative legacy, which also includes the composer Peter Warlock, ensures Tite Street remains one of the most evocative and atmospheric addresses in London, prized for its unique blend of heritage, creativity, and quiet sophistication. For the discerning buyer seeking luxury Chelsea property for sale, this street offers an unmatched provenance.

A uniquely redesigned apartment

Echoing its history as a former artist’s studio, this first-floor, one-bedroom apartment has been meticulously and uniquely redesigned by the current owner. Offering an expansive 768.6 sq. ft (approx.) of exceptionally detailed living space, this is the ultimate luxury London pied-à-terre.

The apartment beautifully blends the grandeur of its historic proportions with refined contemporary design. Defining features include:

- Soaring four-metre-high ceilings that amplify the sense of space and light, reminiscent of its studio past.
- Abundant natural light drawn in by large sash windows, illuminating the elegant proportions and custom, refined palette.
- Bespoke contemporary detailing throughout, set against a backdrop of quintessential period architecture.

Upon entering, one is greeted by an airy, open-plan kitchen and living space. A neutral and warm environment is established by light wooden flooring and a period fireplace, contrasted by striking black accents in the window framing and a sculptural chandelier. The kitchen serves as a bold focal point with dark wood cabinetry and a dramatic black marble-effect counter. Overlooking this stunning space is an elegant mezzanine level, perfectly tailored for use as a dedicated study or creative workspace, subtly honouring the property’s artistic lineage.

The bedroom, positioned toward the rear, continues the theme of calm sophistication with tall ceilings, a soft mint-green scheme, and period features, including a cast-iron radiator. Bespoke built-in wardrobes ensure generous storage, while the adjoining en-suite bathroom offers a luxurious sanctuary. It features light, stone-hued tiling contrasted beautifully by sleek black fittings, creating a contemporary edge that completes this truly bespoke home.

World-class location

The convenience of the location matches its prestige. Residents benefit from being moments from Chelsea’s celebrated boutiques, world-class galleries, and beautiful riverside walks. Excellent transport links are close at hand, with Sloane Square (District and Circle Lines) and South Kensington (District, Circle and Piccadilly Lines) within easy reach. The burgeoning Battersea Power Station area provides further connections and a growing mix of luxury retail and dining.

Tite Street is for sale for £1,495,000 (Leasehold) with Dexters.
