A charming three bedroom house in a desirable Chelsea location, 11 Selwood Terrace is well-situated in a prime neighbourhood as well as offering a private back garden, and paved front garden - highly coveted attributes for any central London home.
However, as the property sits in the Thurloe/Smith's Charity Conservation Area of the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, one of its most enticing features is the approved planning permission to expand the lower ground floor which accompanies it. Obtaining planning permission in this area is incredibly difficult - particularly to increase square footage - and presents a major opportunity for prospective buyers. Included here is the second floor plan, painstakingly approved by RBKC for the potential new owner of this house. The lower ground floor has been reorganised and expanded to accommodate a rear extension for a beautiful dining room/living area, with new french doors opening directly into the walled garden. The kitchen would be relocated to the front of the property and the ability to extend the internal space into the vaults under the pavement has been secured - these have been proposed as utility/laundry and plant rooms with room for a climate controlled wine cellar.
Set back from the road behind an attractively paved front garden, the house is entered via stone stairs that lead up to the raised ground floor. Once inside, there is a very welcoming double reception overlooking the immaculate 50 ft. private garden beyond graced by a mature magnolia tree. On the lower ground floor is the kitchen and dining space as described above that gives direct access to the garden. There is also an ample sized study room on this floor which could also be a third bedroom. On the first floor are two further double bedrooms with the master bedroom overlooking Selwood Terrace.
The houses of Selwood Terrace were built in 1827, and as such are some of the oldest in the area, built before the rapid expansion that was to follow. As such, they retain a ‘country house’ feel, whilst being extremely conveniently located. Selwood Terrace is an extension of Onslow Gardens on the west side of the street with Neville Terrace forming the east side. As such it is ideally placed for either South Kensington or Gloucester Road underground stations.
