Entering on the ground floor, the front hall opens onto a dining room with views over the garden square. In addition, a connecting corridor kitchen leads through to the terrace at the back of the house. Upstairs, an impressive reception room occupies the entire first-floor, with exceptionally high ceilings and a front-facing balcony running the width of the building.

The interior has two unusual features: a glass passenger lift running throughout the property, and air conditioning in a number of rooms. It is also finished to the highest quality in a dramatic monochrome colour scheme and available unfurnished.

On the second floor, the principal bedroom includes a generous ensuite, while two bedrooms with a shared bathroom complete the third floor. Finally, downstairs, the lower ground floor provides a bedroom, a bathroom, a study and considerable storage space.

The house is Grade II listed with a white stucco facade and was built around 1830. It contains a garden with wooden decking and a roof terrace with views over Chelsea. In addition, it is located on the eastern side of Wellington Square, a private garden with a formal design, shaded by mature plane trees.

The square was laid out in the early nineteenth century and named after Arthur Wellesley, first Duke of Wellington. It was once home to A.A. Milne, author of Winnie-the-Pooh, as well as the fictional address of Ian Fleming’s spy James Bond. Today, it is among the most desirable addresses in Chelsea, close to the excellent restaurants, shops and transport facilities of the Kings Road and Sloane Square, but with a sense of privacy and seclusion.
