Behind the red-brick façade of this handsome period building, this three-bedroom duplex unfolds across two beautifully proportioned floors, combining dramatic volume with private outdoor space in between Chelsea and South Kensington.
The raised ground floor is devoted to entertaining. A striking double reception stretches the full width of the building, its 11ft ceilings crowned with decorative plasterwork and lit by tall bay windows that draw in the soft light of this quiet Chelsea street. Deep parquet floors run beneath a gallery of framed artworks, while a contemporary fireplace anchors the room and gives it the feel of a private salon rather than a conventional living space.
To the rear, the kitchen and dining room form a generous open-plan sequence, where sleek cabinetry and a long island sit beneath a wall of windows and doors opening directly onto the terrace. This elevated outdoor space becomes an extension of the kitchen, perfect for summer lunches, evening drinks or simply letting the day spill outside. A guest cloakroom and discreet storage complete this level.
Downstairs, the mood shifts to something calmer and more private. The principal bedroom suite is generously scaled, with bespoke wardrobes and an ensuite bathroom finished in pale stone, complete with a deep bathtub and walk-in shower. Two further bedrooms sit alongside a second bathroom, one of them opening directly onto a secluded private garden that brings greenery and light deep into the lower floor. Vault storage adds a practical touch without compromising the clean lines of the rooms.
Throughout, the apartment balances contemporary finishes with the character of its period features, giving it a sense of individuality that feels far removed from a standard Chelsea conversion.
Draycott Place is defined by its elegant red-brick buildings, mature trees and its sense of calm. The boutiques and cafés of the King’s Road and Pavilion Road are moments away, Sloane Square station is close at hand, and Hyde Park provides a welcome sweep of green just up the road.
