This beautifully balanced five-bedroom family house is just moments from Sloane Square, and has rare access to communal gardens and planning permission to expand.

Behind its handsome façade, this delightfully finished Chelsea home unfolds across four floors, offering generous proportions, classical detailing and a wonderful sense of light throughout. The first floor is given over to a grand drawing room, the perfect entertaining space overlooking leafy communal gardens to the rear. On the ground floor, the atmosphere shifts to convivial family living, centred around a large open-plan kitchen and dining room. Two west-facing windows and a pair of French doors flood the space with afternoon light and open directly onto the gardens. A spacious pantry adjoins the kitchen, offering excellent storage.

The principal bedroom lies on the first floor at the front of the house and has a walk-in wardrobe and an ensuite bathroom. The guest bedroom accommodation is arranged over the upper floors, each level benefiting from the natural volume afforded by the central staircase. Air conditioning has been installed on the upper levels, and planning permission is in place to develop the loft and create a guest suite with a private terrace. The lower ground floor with its own street entrance and rear patio can also be a self-contained flat if required.

Residents enjoy direct access to the beautifully maintained communal gardens, a rare privilege in this part of Chelsea. The property is presented in good condition but equally provides scope for an incoming purchaser to personalise or upgrade to their own taste.

Sloane Court East is perfectly positioned between Sloane Square, the King’s Road and Pavilion Road, a charming pedestrianised street lined with independent shops and cafés. The Royal Hospital Chelsea, Christopher Wren’s baroque masterpiece, and the leafy lawns of Burton Court are just a short walk away; residents can apply for membership to enjoy its tennis courts, cricket pitch and dog-walking grounds.

Leading schools including Garden House, Hill House, Sussex House, Francis Holland and Knightsbridge School are all within easy reach, making this a superb family home in one of London’s most desirable neighborhoods.
