Cathcart Road, Chelsea, London, SW10

This first-floor apartment on Cathcart Road occupies the whole width of an attractive period building, spanning two adjoining buildings, giving it an unusually generous, lateral layout. At around 1,014 sq ft, with high ceilings and full-height sash windows throughout, the rooms feel considerably larger than the footprint suggests, and the south-facing aspect keeps the apartment filled with light for most of the day.



The reception room sets the tone: ceilings over 10 ft, ornate cornicing, and a fireplace flanked by bespoke cabinetry. Two sash windows run floor to ceiling and open onto a balcony that stretches the full width of the building.



The kitchen sits apart from the reception space, finished in dark cabinetry with integrated Gaggenau appliances and enough room for a full dining table, with space for everyday use as much as for entertaining.



The principal bedroom is hidden away from the rest of the apartment and has its own access to the balcony through two of its own full-height sash windows. A run of fitted wardrobes handles storage, and the ensuite is finished in marble with a separate bath, a walk-in shower, and twin vanities. The second bedroom, similarly fitted with bespoke wardrobes, has access to a shower room finished to the same standard.



Presented in excellent condition, the apartment is ready to move into. Italian-inspired interiors bring warmth and character to the rooms, while the exceptional ceiling heights, full-length balcony, south-facing aspect and unusually wide layout create a sense of scale that is difficult to find elsewhere in Chelsea.



Cathcart Road sits in one of Chelsea's most established residential pockets, south of Tregunter Road and The Boltons and a short walk from the shops and restaurants along Fulham Road and King's Road. Earl's Court, South Kensington and Gloucester Road all provide excellent transport links across London, with the Piccadilly line running directly to Heathrow.
