The area offers true historical charm as well as boasting the world-famous King’s Road, with its fashionable boutiques, restaurants and bars. With street after crescent of grand, stucco-fronted properties, garden squares and elegant townhouses, as well as large waterfront developments, Chelsea is home to some of the most impressive and sought- after property in London, and has something for everyone. ALBERT BRIDGE, CHELSEA 2 – THE LONDON COLLECTION CHELSEA – 3 CHEYNE WALK This spectacular property on Cheyne Walk is one of the oldest houses in Chelsea and one of the most outstandingly beautiful and important residences to come to the market in London in recent years. Located in Chelsea’s most iconic address and overlooking the River Thames, this exquisite property is steeped in history and had been in the same ownership for nearly 40 years. This substantial seven-bedroom house is Grade II* Listed, having been built in 1715 in the Queen Anne style. Extending to some 6,266 sq ft, the property is four bays wide, benefiting from its original floor plate of 300 years ago, with a dramatic and sweeping staircase, and stunning reception rooms, which remain exactly as they were in the early 18th century. It also features an incredibly rare 92 foot garden, and garaging for two to three cars. Probably designed for its first owner, William Morrison, this special house is set well back from the street, approached via a stone path leading from the original gate and railings. The house has a beautiful red-brick front which is virtually untouched apart from the addition of a third storey and the modern ‘battlements’ placed on the parapet. On entering, one is met with a double-height entrance hall with grand staircase in stone and marble, which rises gracefully to the first floor drawing room and library. The hall’s breathtaking ceiling was painted by the English artist James Thornhill and his apprentices. The subject is Venus rising out of the sea and, where she walks, flowers grow. Given the aspect of the house overlooking the Thames, the scene has striking relevance. On the walls in the entrance hall are landscapes painted by John Davoto, an Italian baroque artist working in Britain at that time. Over its illustrious history, it has been home to many notable inhabitants, including the organist, composer and teacher Sir John Goss, the Scottish artist and educator William Dyce (1806-1864), the Irish artist Daniel Maclise (1806-1870), who was a friend of Charles Dickens, and the antiquary William Sandys Wright Vaux (1818-1885) who, among other offices held, was the President of the Society of Antiquaries and Keeper of Coins and Medals at the British Museum. The house was then occupied by Mary Ann Evans, otherwise known as George Eliot. With her new husband, John Walter Cross, Eliot leased the house in the spring of 1880, commissioning a ‘Mr Armitage of Manchester’ to supervise the redecoration and furnishing. Eliot, who by this time was one of the most revered authors in Britain, wanted the house to be comfortable with her ‘wallings of books’ and ‘old things’. Unfortunately, she occupied the house for only 19 days, dying there on 22 December 1880, and is commemorated by a blue plaque that now adorns the house. 4 – THE LONDON COLLECTION Cheyne Walk DraytonChelsea, Gardens SW3 This GradeChelsea, II* Listed SW10seven-bedroom house with stunning garden is one of the A substantialmost outstandingly Grade II listed beautiful five-bedroom houses to house with comea west to facing the market garden in and recent double years. garage.
