4 rooms house of 396m² in London

Situated off the vibrant King’s Road, Shawfield Street has a thoroughly serene character lined with refined heritage buildings. Echoing its sophisticated Chelsea postcode, this three-bedroom home is a considered canvas for modern city living. Thanks to a recent refurbishment, expect neutral tones, quality materials and plenty of natural light across its four floors. A set of steps ascends to the front door, framed beneath a portico entryway. Inside, hardwood floors make a sleek first impression as you head into the double reception room. The space is illuminated through dual-aspect fenestration, including a charming bay window. At the end of the entrance hallway, there’s a quiet study with glazed doors that open onto a private balcony. The lower-ground floor contains the social heart of the home. Engineered herringbone floors – complete with underfloor heating – span the entire spacious footprint, with reams of natural light pouring through an array of windows and skylights. The kitchen is centred by a smooth limestone island, while neutral grey cabinets are fitted with integrated appliances. At one end, a bay window makes for a tranquil dining spot or lounge area; at the other, two sets of glass doors open out to the private garden. A wall of brickwork affords fantastic privacy, with an array of verdant planting surrounding the al fresco setting. The principal bedroom suite is a tranquil space, with pale walls and integrated Italian wardrobes. A sliding pocket door opens into the en suite bathroom – which has been elegantly finished in wide marble panels. A sculptural Victoria & Albert Napoli bathtub captures attention at the centre of the room, while underfloor heating keeps things cosy. On the top floor, which features a skylight over the stairwell, two guest bedrooms are minimalist in style and calming in feel. These rooms are served by two separate family bathrooms, each with indulgent bathtubs and underfloor heating. Completing the highest storey is a roof terrace overlooking the surrounding area – a perfect spot to make the most of London’s sunny days. Location Shawfield Street is just moments from the best of Chelsea. Start your mornings with a vinyasa flow session at Triyoga followed by easygoing brunch at Bluebird. Peruse the boutiques that line King’s Road then stop at the Saatchi Gallery for contemporary art. Stroll upwards to the world-class museums of South Kensington, or down for long walks along the River Thames. Fine dining comes naturally to this neighbourhood: Italian restaurant Ziani was co-founded by a direct descendant of the Venetian Doge, or Michelin-starred The Five Fields or Claude Bosi at Bibendum for special occasions.
