The entrance unfolds into a spacious stair hall, setting a generous tone for the rest of the house. To one side lies a recently fitted kitchen, centred around a marble-topped island and flanked by a relaxed dining area. Opposite, a welcoming reception room is lined with bespoke joinery and soft natural light. Beyond, a guest bedroom with an en suite bathroom offers privacy and calm.
The first floor is devoted to rest and retreat. The principal bedroom occupies the eastern half of the plan, with a French door framing leafy views down Mallord Street and afternoon sun warming the interiors. A dedicated dressing room and an en suite bathroom with a freestanding tub add a layer of quiet luxury. A second bedroom with its own en suite and a cloakroom complete the floor.
Rising to the top of the house is its true showpiece: an extraordinary studio space with soaring ceilings and dramatic scale. Vast arched windows flood the room with light, and an open fireplace anchors the space. A panelled library and bar sit to one side, while a separate study at the western end catches the golden light of sunset. Rich with atmosphere, this space has inspired generations of artistic endeavour and still feels imbued with creative energy.
Throughout the house, classical detailing—original panelling, elegant fireplaces, Arts and Crafts flourishes—sits alongside contemporary finishes and thoughtful comforts, including air conditioning in selected rooms. A flat-roofed terrace on the first floor has been decked in timber, offering an additional outdoor moment.
Mallord Street, named after J.M.W. Turner, whose middle name it was, is one of Chelsea's most quietly illustrious addresses. With its parade of red-brick Arts and Crafts houses and literary and artistic lineage—A.A. Milne among its former residents—it offers a peaceful yet central position just moments from the King's Road. The amenities of Sloane Square and South Kensington are within easy walking distance, as are the green spaces of the Chelsea Physic Garden and the Thames beyond.
