set behind a handsome, arts and crafts-inspired façade on one of chelse a’s prettiest residential enclaves, this seven-bedroom house unfolds across more than 3,800 sqft , with a wonderfully versatile layout designed for family life.
the house opens into an elegant entrance hall and a generous double reception and dining room that runs from front to back, creating a beautifully sociable principal living space. wooden floors, excellent natural light and a calm sense of proportion make this a room that works equally well for everyday family life and larger-scale entertaining.
to the rear, the kitchen is bright and functional, with fitted appliances, ample cabinetry and a west-facing aspect over the garden. it opens directly onto the outside space, making it particularly well suited to summer lunches, children spilling in and out, and easy day-to-day living.
the lower ground floor has been excavated to create a significant additional layer of accommodation, currently arranged to include a large gym, two bedrooms, bathrooms and useful ancillary space. this floor offers excellent flexibility and could equally serve as a guest suite, staff accommodation, playroom level or media floor, depending on requirements.
across the upper floors, the bedroom accommodation is exceptionally well balanced. the principal suite occupies a particularly generous footprint, complete with a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite bathroom, while a further six bedrooms are arranged across the first and second floors alongside additional bathrooms and a study. a large loft room above adds yet another adaptable space, perfect as a studio, den, storage area or hobby room.
outside, the west-facing garden is a rare asset in this part of chelse a, private, enclosed and wonderfully usable, with gated access to the rear lane. the house also enjoys access to burton court, one of the neighbourhood’s most sought-after communal amenities.
ormonde gate sits quietly between the king’s road and the open green space of burton court, placing some of chelse a’s best shops, restaurants and schools within easy reach. this is a deeply established residential pocket of sw3: discreet, elegant and particularly well suited to family life.
