4 bedroom house

An exclusive enclave in the heart of Chelsea, Astell Street is flanked by classic red brick houses. Behind its smart façade, this four-bedroom property plays with colour and materials for a contemporary yet elegant finish, envisaged by architectural design and build studio Zulufish.

In the reception room, a vibrant blue ceiling and walls make a bold first impression, while a stone fireplace with log burner creates a striking focal point. Polished herringbone floors run throughout the ground floor, leading into the open-plan kitchen-dining space. A zoned snug area with white painted brick and a steel framed glass roof ensures a bright, sociable space, with a built-in sideboard and open shelves to display glassware. In the white, shaker style kitchen there’s ample storage and a Mercury range cooker – ideal for cooking family meals. Tucked to the side of the room is a convenient cloakroom.

Upstairs, the first floor is home to two double bedroom suites. One with a shower room and its own private terrace, the other with a bath and separate shower. On the second floor, the tranquil principal suite features a walk-in wardrobe, dressing table area and an en suite with a large double shower. A fourth bedroom has its own terrace and bathroom impeccably finished with powder pink silk walls and a freestanding bathtub. Outside on the landing, a kitchenette means you can brew a morning coffee without having to head downstairs.
