The Bedrooms
The second floor features the principal bedroom suite, with a generous bathroom and a dressing room on the half-landing. The third floor offers another bedroom, as well as an ensuite bathroom and separate kitchenette.
The Design
This much-loved family home is coming onto the market for the first time in almost five decades.
ts traditional interiors match the historic setting, but have the potential to be reimagined by a new owner. The generous proportions allow for more bedroom accommodation, and because the house is not listed, it could easily be extended and reconfigured, subject to planning consent.
Outdoor Spaces
The house includes a west-facing rear patio garden with enough space for outdoor dining. Residents also have access to the private garden square
Patio Garden
The Neighbourhood
Markham Square lies on the site of an old orchard, acquired by Matthew Markham in the late eighteenth century. Its houses were built in the mid-nineteenth century, while the garden was redesigned after the Second World to resemble the park of a country house. From here, the King’s Road is close, with its many restaurants and shops. Sloane Square underground station is also nearby, while the gastronomic hub of Chelsea Green is a short walk away.
