Situated in the heart of ‘Old Chelsea,’ this country home in London is our property of the week.
A country home in London
With rooms that would slot seamlessly into a stately home, it’s no wonder this exceptional property is seen as a sanctuary from the urban concrete jungle. This property would make a wonderfully unique home, situated on Upper Cheyne Row in the heart of prestigious ‘Old Chelsea.’

Let’s get down to numbers
A good sized family home, this property boasts 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms and 5 reception rooms, meaning that you won’t be at a loss for areas in which to entertain your guests. There’s also a lovely roof terrace and a wine cellar too, so you’ve got somewhere to store your collection and a view to enjoy it with. This charming home is available for £9,250,000; exceptional value in the current market.

Older is better
Built in 1714 for the then Duchess of Hamilton, this Grade II listed property has remained faithful to its origins. Its elegant rooms are complemented by ornate bathrooms and furnishings throughout the house and, in the drawing room, the refurbished panelling and modern technological features are in perfect harmony.

A garden of outstanding beauty
The highlight of this exceptional property is, without a doubt, the stunning garden at the rear. With access from two floors, there’s no chance the new owner would be able to resist a dip in the oval slate-lined heated swimming pool, in any of the four seasons.

Priceless privacy
This property offers a degree of seclusion that’s very rare in this location. The design of the garden has been considered such that the beautifully cultivated plants offer screening from neighbours; as such, all the rooms at the rear of the house enjoy a charming and secluded outlook.
Available from Russell Simpson for £9,250,000
