Chesham Street, Belgravia, London, SW1X

This expansive white stucco-fronted Belgravia townhouse is set on the Western side of Chesham Street, close to Sloane Square and Knightsbridge. Originally built in the 1830s, and designed by renowned architect Thomas Cubitt, the house is a perfect example of Georgian design, exemplified by its large rooms, period features and grand proportions.

Arranged over six floors and 6,509 sq ft, the impressive house has beautiful entertaining spaces, as well as six bedroom suites. On the ground floor, a vast dine-in kitchen leads to a terrace and is complemented by a family room and a large dining room.

On the first floor, a grand reception room has floor-to-ceiling windows that overlook the square and open to a balcony. Behind this room is a second reception room with a bar, perfect for entertaining. A study lies at the back of this level.

The second floor is given over to the master suite, which includes a large bathroom, a walk-through dressing room and access to a large terrace. The third and fourth floors are home to four ensuite bedrooms, which are all generous doubles. There is also a useful kitchenette on the third floor.

On the lower ground floor, a reception room is complemented by a second kitchenette, a utility room and an ensuite bathroom, and would make excellent staff accommodation. Unusually for a house of this period, a lift accesses all floors.

Set on one of Belgravia’s most coveted streets, close to Hyde Park, the area is known for its pretty architecture and lovely tree-lined streets. Grand townhouses are defined by their timeless elegance, while garden squares provide a sense of tranquillity amidst the bustling city. Belgravia's exclusive shops and restaurants are some of the best in London and excellent transport links mean the house is well connected to the rest of London.
