2 rooms flat of 197m² in London

There’s a quiet clarity to this lateral Chelsea home, creatively crafted by Charlie Ilett Design. Set on the second floor of a tall blonde-brick townhouse, this is a home that knows how to make a sophisticated impression. Inside, the dining and reception room establishes a warm, inviting tone. Two arched sash windows brighten the space, while oak herringbone floors lend a cohesive feel. An olive velvet Andrew Martin sofa introduces a warm burst of colour; entertainment comes courtesy of paperback-filled shelves and a widescreen TV. Dark column radiators, a vintage gold mirror and a Marcel Breuer–style dining set layer in subtle personality. An archway frames the transition into the generous eat-in kitchen. Here, olive green shaker cabinetry pairs with Calacatta Gold quartz worktops and a breakfast bar positioned for easy everyday use. The window frames leafy glimpses of Tregunter Road – a reminder of the home’s Chelsea setting. Elsewhere, the principal bedroom leans into softness. Cream carpet underfoot, a muted-orange Andrew Martin headboard and bespoke-lined curtains create a calm, consistent palette. Texture elevates the setting, from the custom wardrobes with rattan fronts to the Pierre Jeanneret–inspired chair. The family bathroom is a highlight, where Violetta marble tiles wrap around a deep Bette Ocean bathtub. The guest bedroom continues in a more minimal register – crisp white walls contrasted with deep berry fitted wardrobes. Its en suite pairs grey limewash with a solid concrete basin and a streamlined shower for a contemporary finish. Location Characterised by leafy streets with rows of period homes, Chelsea is a peaceful residential area with a central London postcode. On your doorstep, Brompton Cemetery is one of the capital’s seven historic burial grounds, with tree-lined avenues and heritage architecture to explore. Venture to the King’s Road for retail therapy, before a stroll along the Embankment. South Kensington’s plethora of museums are nearby for world-class exhibitions. Spend an evening at Evans & Peel, one of London’s only speakeasy bars, or catch live music at the Troubadour. Earl’s Court - 12 mins (Circle, District, Piccadilly)
