Property description
Occupying an imposing position on one of Chelsea’s wider and most attractive residential streets, this exceptional Victorian family house combines grand proportions, excellent entertaining space and unusually versatile accommodation extending to over 4,400 sq ft, including a substantial detached studio house within the grounds.
Full Description - Set back from the road behind a deep front garden, the house possesses an immediate sense of scale and presence characteristic of the finest late Victorian houses within this part of Chelsea. Internally, the property retains many of its original architectural features, including impressive ceiling heights, elegant proportions and expansive reception spaces, all thoughtfully balanced with more contemporary family living arrangements.
The raised ground floor is particularly impressive, occupied predominantly by a magnificent double reception room of substantial width and volume, providing a wonderful formal entertaining space. A separate study and concealed bar lead directly from the reception room, creating a layout exceptionally well suited both to larger scale entertaining and more intimate evening use.
To the lower floor, a large open-plan kitchen, dining and family room forms the natural centre of the house, with extensive floor-to-ceiling folding doors opening directly onto the rear garden and drawing significant natural light deep into the space throughout the day. The kitchen is complemented by a separate utility room and walk-in pantry, providing excellent practical storage and secondary preparation space.
The principal bedroom suite occupies a particularly impressive position within the house, incorporating a dressing room together with an exceptionally large bathroom featuring both a walk-in shower and substantial freestanding bath. In addition to the principal suite, the house provides further guest and family accommodation including 3/4 additional bedrooms, two additional bathrooms and guest WC.
A particularly rare feature is the substantial detached studio house situated at the rear of the garden, extending to over 800 sq ft in its own right and incorporating a bedroom area, kitchen and bathroom. Ideal as guest or family accommodation, a studio, gym, home office or staff suite, it provides a degree of flexibility very rarely found within central London family houses.
The rear garden itself is unusually wide for Chelsea, extending to almost 10 metres across and combining paved entertaining terraces with mature planting, creating a calm and private setting between the main house and studio building beyond.
Fernshaw Road occupies a quietly regarded position within the western Chelsea / Lots Road enclave, known for its wider streets, larger family houses and more residential atmosphere whilst remaining within easy reach of the King’s Road, Chelsea Harbour and the riverfront. The area has become increasingly sought after by families seeking substantial houses with strong entertaining space and gardens, whilst still benefiting from close proximity to the wider amenities of Prime Central London.
The accommodation comprises entrance hall, grand double reception room with study and concealed bar, large kitchen dining and family room, utility room, pantry, principal bedroom suite with dressing room and large en-suite bathroom, three further double bedrooms, two additional bathrooms, additional single bedroom/study, guest WC, extensive rear garden and detached studio house with kitchen and bathroom.
