Chelsea Park Gardens

A calming backdrop in the heart of Chelsea, this five-bedroom Arts and Crafts-style house for rent enjoys a cottage-like feel, and access to an exclusive communal garden.

In walking distance to the King’s Road, this impressive home offers the best of both worlds – a peaceful setting, with plentiful amenities on the doorstep.  Arranged over four floors, striking contemporary design elevates a family focused layout, with flawless interiors throughout.

On the ground floor, a double reception room encompasses a formal living and dining space. Every detail has been chosen with comfort in mind without compromising on style. Mock Tudor ceilings and a marble fireplace add warmth, contrasting with the light, natural-coloured walls.

Crittall-style doors lead into a well-equipped kitchen. Dark burnished cabinetry and stone surfaces stretch to the ceiling, emphasising the generous proportions of the room. There’s a breakfast table for informal meals, meaning those who cook can socialise with friends and family. From this floor, step out to a secluded patio that opens onto an exclusive communal garden accessed by only nine other houses. 

A sculptural staircase leads down to an expansive media room with four-metre-high ceilings and a large-screen TV. Elsewhere, this floor features a utility room, a cloakroom and an en suite bedroom with access to a patio – an ideal option for a nanny or older children. 

Four further bedrooms are arranged over the top two levels. The standout principal suite occupies the entire first floor, encompassing a walk-in wardrobe and its own TV room, complete with a contemporary fireplace and a balcony. Carpets threaded with subtle gold tones and a panelled wall bring softness. From the platform bed, it’s only a few steps to the opulent bathroom. Here, a black, egg-shaped bathtub is joined by a huge walk-in shower wrapped in marble. 

Two guest bedrooms – one that features a vaulted ceiling and a mezzanine for storage – are similarly sophisticated and served by a Jack-and-Jill bathroom. A further bedroom enjoys fitted storage and access to a family bathroom, finished in floor-to-ceiling marble. There’s also a quiet study for home working.
