Ormonde Gate, Chelsea, London, SW3

Occupying an enviable position directly overlooking Burton Court, this exceptional Chelsea townhouse is arranged across more than 5,500 sq ft, with beautifully proportioned interiors, a grand sense of scale and some of the finest green views in prime central London. Set behind an elegant red-brick façade on one of Chelsea’s most distinguished addresses, the house combines period grandeur with outstanding family accommodation, alongside access to the communal gardens and Burton Court playing fields beyond.

The property also includes a separate studio apartment of approximately 406 sq ft, adjacent to the main residence. With direct views over Burton Court, it is well suited as a home office or guest accommodation. The studio is held with a share of freehold.

A magnificent entrance hall sets the tone on arrival, where a sweeping staircase rises through the centre of the house beneath high ceilings and intricate cornicing. To the front, the formal dining room enjoys uninterrupted views across Burton Court through expansive sash windows, while to the rear, a generously scaled kitchen and breakfast room has been designed for everyday family living and entertaining alike. Classical cabinetry, a substantial central island and excellent natural light create a warm yet highly practical space, with direct access to the communal gardens beyond.



The first floor is devoted to entertaining, with a superb double reception room stretching across the width of the house. Exceptionally bright throughout the day thanks to its east-to-west orientation, the room retains an elegant, traditional atmosphere with ornate fireplaces, full-height windows and impressive ceiling heights. Opposite sits a handsome study, equally suited as a library, sitting room or private office.



Arranged across the upper floors are five double bedrooms, all with ensuite bathrooms and bespoke storage. The principal suite occupies the entire second floor and incorporates an extensive dressing room, a spacious marble bathroom and leafy views over Burton Court. Several bedrooms open onto private terraces, while at roof level, a spectacular rooftop terrace provides a secluded setting for outdoor entertaining with far-reaching views across Chelsea’s rooftops and the open greenery beyond.



The lower ground floor has been thoughtfully configured to provide additional informal living space, including a cinema and media room, utility room, staff accommodation and a walk-in, air-conditioned wine cellar. Throughout the house, modern comforts have been carefully integrated, including underfloor heating to the bathrooms and kitchen, air conditioning to all bedrooms and the cinema room, Sonos AV and an automated lighting system.



Ormonde Gate is regarded as one of Chelsea’s most sought-after enclaves, positioned alongside Burton Court and moments from the Royal Hospital Chelsea. Residents enjoy direct access to the beautifully maintained communal gardens, as well as membership access to Burton Court’s private playing fields, tennis courts and cricket nets. Sloane Square, the King’s Road and Belgravia are all within easy reach, placing some of London’s finest restaurants, boutiques and cultural institutions close at hand.
