Inside A Historic Farmhouse… In The Middle Of Chelsea

Perched on the edge of Chelsea Green, this impressive double-fronted house doesn’t exactly scream cottagecore – but it’s actually believed to be one of the area’s very first farmhouses. Here’s the rundown.

This £4.95M House Was One Of Chelsea’s First Ever Farmhouses

Once upon a time (around the 18th century, to be exact) what’s now the immaculate Chelsea Green started life as Chelsea Common: a grazing spot for livestock, used communally by local farmers and labourers. Fast forward a few decades and most of the land was parcelled off to private landowners – including this rather impressive property, which was originally a sprawling estate surrounded by open countryside.

Now, the home stands proudly on the corner of Elystan Place and Markham Street. Spanning nearly 3,000 square feet of space across four floors, it contains five bedrooms, four bathrooms and two reception rooms.

You’ll find the spacious kitchen and main reception/dining room on the ground floor, with a sumptuous media/games room on the floor below. The lavish principal suite occupies the first floor, with two further bedroom suites and two double bedrooms above – not to mention an impressive roof terrace.

Just moments away from the King’s Road and a short walk from Sloane Square, this Chelsea house might once have been perched within rolling countryside, but it’s now perfectly situated in the heart of the city. If you happen to have nearly £5 million lying around, you could make it yours…
