4 bedroom apartment for sale

Cheyne Walk is one of Chelsea’s most culturally esteemed addresses – its long residential stretch replete with Blue Plaques of renowned painters, musicians and writers. Contained within Carlyle Mansions, one of several red-brick apartment buildings, lies an architectural paragon. First designed by John Pawson CBE, whose pre-eminent minimalism puts him in a league of his own, this four-bedroom home remains true to the influential artistic heritage of the street. Across its sweeping lateral footprint, spaces are expertly balanced with refined materials and luminous sunlight, resulting in a thoroughly serene setting for contemporary family life.

Beyond the ornate portico entrance, take the life to the fourth floor. Whitewashed walls and pale wood floors make a tranquil first impression, as you enter the open-plan kitchen and reception room. Internal columns subtly zone the two spaces, while natural light pours in through a bay window. Defined by clean lines and sleek technology, the kitchen features Gaggenau and Miele appliances neatly interspersed amongst Carrara marble worktops. Handless cabinetry affords a clean look throughout, including tall cupboards that fold back to reveal additional preparation and display space.

At the end of the living area, turn right into the dining room. Tall ceilings and reams of sunlight make for an uplifting setting for entertaining. Floor-to-ceiling cupboards add vertical intrigue to the rear wall, while offering a neat storage solution for the space.

All four bedrooms are accessed off a long corridor. The principal, found at the rear, is pared-back in tones and illuminated through large sash windows. There’s a dedicated dressing room and sleek ensuite bathroom, finished with a marble-wrapped dual vanity and curved walk-in shower.

Two of the guest bedrooms feature bunk levels with integrated ladders, offering additional living and working spaces. The fourth guest bedroom is complete with built-in wardrobes and exposed wooden shelving. These rooms are served by a family bathroom – containing a bathtub and walk-in shower, finished in the same pale grey marble.

At the top of the home, a communal roof terrace is tailor-made for London’s warmer months. Enjoy far-reaching views across the Chelsea Embankment, River Thames and eclectic neighbourhood skyline.

Cheyne Walk enjoys a riverside position on the inimitable Chelsea Embankment, offering scenic views and close proximity to some of the neighbourhood’s best offerings. Grade I listed Chelsea Physic Gardens is one of London’s oldest spaces devoted to botanicals – perfect for meditative strolls surrounded by nature. Head to the river for scenic walks along the banks, crossing Albert Bridge to reach the expanses of Battersea Park. The King’s Road is set to refresh your wardrobe or catch groundbreaking exhibitions at The Saatchi. Enjoy drinks at the iconic Cadogan Arms, before tucking into Greek delicacies at Bottarga and hunkering down for a film at The Everyman. For special occasions, book a table at two-Michelin-starred Claude Bosi at Bibendum.
