This Sumptuous Chelsea Rental Is An Interior Lover’s Dream

Make no mistake, this impressive Chelsea property is big-budget. But with six seriously decked out en suite bedrooms, an indoor swimming pool and enviable SW10 location, we’d expect nothing less…

Located on Chelsea’s Gilston Road (close to Battersea Park, the Saatchi Gallery and the Royal Albert Hall), the spectacular 1850s property – available to rent at £55,000 per week with Sotheby’s International Realty – is an art and design-lover’s dream. Think high ceilings, quirky artworks and monochrome chic, with the occasional pop of colour.

Award-winning international architect and designer, Shalini Misra was called in to design the sensational space, in which the property was almost doubled in size to create, as Mohamed Zaghloul, head of Middle East Desk at Sotheby’s states, “a large flowing space to showcase the owner’s contemporary art collection.” 

“Every inch of space has been meticulously planned throughout the entire house to create a warm inviting home,” he says, “which has been finished to an exceptional standard and perfectly displays a stunning collection of art across the house.”

From the opulent open-plan kitchen to the swimming pool, sauna and gym, the five-floor detached property offers a wealth of desirable amenities, not forgetting an attractive private garden and courtyard which provide plenty of opportunity for alfresco dining. The Victorian house also features its very own lift, office, media room and secure gated parking, as well as three spacious reception rooms.

Described by Zaghloul as “the most spectacular super prime listing currently available to rent in Prime Central London,” the house is available for both short and long let stays. “This property offers a seven star service to offer a home with the attention and detail that a top class hotel would offer – in line with what a tenant would expect for a house of this standard.”
