Eight bedroom family home with generous garden and south-facing roof terrace on a historic street close to the River Thames.The house is extremely bright! Sun is coming from the east in the morning, the south and the west; even in winter there is sunshine until late afternoon, as there are no buildings to the west on the opposite side of Cheyne Gardens.Entering the house on the raised ground floor, the front door leads through a generous entrance into a grand staircase hall. The end-of-terrace position allows for south-facing windows that bring added brightness into the hall and illuminate the staircase.

The dining room and the kitchen are connected via a seperate scullery allowing for discreet service when entertaining guests.The first floor is mostly occupied by a sizeable L-shaped drawing room with three full-length sash windows, two of them opening onto a front balcony, and an additional south-facing window. Meanwhile, at the rear of the room, another French door opens onto a terrace. This floor also contains a guest cloakroom and a music room on the half landing.The second floor consists of a principal bedroom with a generous ensuite bathroom centred around a free-standing bath.

It is presented in extremely good condition. The grand interiors and impressive volume of the rooms evoke a country house, rather than a London residence.The property includes a large garden with paved seating areas and separate street access for added convenience.

Finally, the restaurantsand shops of the King's Road including the tube stations at Sloane Square and South Kensington are nearby, as well as the charming streets of Old Chelsea.As the house is slightly recessed from the corner building next door it is almost completely sheltered from any noise that would otherwise be heard from Cheyne Walk and Chelsea Embankment. There are few areas as centrally located yet as quiet as this one.The iconic Mimosa Tree adjacent to the street front of Cheyne Gardens is in full bloom during the winter months, a real treat enjoyed by the neighbours and passers-by alike.
