Shawfield Street

Set in the sophisticated heart of Chelsea, this newly refurbished four-bedroom home is a canvas of finely-tuned contemporary design

The buzz of the King’s Road quietens as you head down Shawfield Street, a serene road lined with immaculate red brick and stucco-fronted houses. Echoing its smart Chelsea postcode, this four-bedroom home has been entirely refurbished with pristine interior design. Across its four floors, high quality furnishings and modern technologies — including air conditioning, central heating and Sonos speakers — are complemented by an abundance of sunlight.

Making a sophisticated first impression, the entrance hallway is laid with smooth marble floors while a reclaimed chest of drawers adds a pop of colour. Take the stairs to the first floor, which opens into the home’s spacious heart: an open-plan reception and dining room, split across two levels. The living area is set below, with a navy tuxedo sofa making a stylish contrast to the whitewashed walls and floors. On the higher level is a marble-topped dining table that can be extended to seat ten. The kitchen is connected via an open serving hatch and can also be accessed by a separate door. Its inky-blue cabinets and stainless steel worktops offer a moodier accent to the neutral interior palette, and brand-new appliances are set for culinary creativity. The whole space is brightened with dual-aspect fenestration, with one French door opening onto a balcony. A set of steps lead down to the private garden — a secluded suntrap come warmer months.

The principal bedroom suite is spread across the home’s fourth storey, introduced by a staircase framed with a glass balustrade — which also leads to an additional private terrace. The bedroom is minimalist in style, finished with plenty of wardrobe space. Its en suite bathroom makes a bolder statement with its black freestanding bathtub. The two additional double guest bedrooms are located on the third floor, one served by an en suite bathroom and the other by a separate bathroom with glossy black tiles.

On the ground floor, an additional reception space is currently configured as a study and television room, but can be reimagined as a guest bedroom. Floor-to-ceiling storage sits either side of a desk, while reams of natural light is drawn in through sash windows and French doors which open out to the garden above. Next door, there’s a modern bathroom with a glass framed walk-in-shower.

Completing the home is its private garage, which has been extended to allow for the storage of one larger-sized vehicle. From the street, it opens with a fob key, while a door in the hallway provides interior access.
