Set on one of Chelsea’s most desirable streets, moments from the King’s Road, this remarkable six-bedroom home spans six floors and has been beautifully reconfigured to maximise natural light and space. The property offers six bathrooms and three additional WCs, providing exceptional convenience for a house of this scale.


Completed in 2016, the renovation introduced underfloor heating throughout and comprehensive security, while interiors were entrusted to Axel Vervoordt. Known internationally for his eponymous gallery, Vervoordt has imbued the house with his signature aesthetic: natural materials, refined proportions, and bespoke pieces that blur the line between furniture and art.


Inside, the tone is set by stone fireplaces in the entertaining rooms and a professional-grade Boffi kitchen, fitted with two oversized Sub-Zero refrigerators, additional freezer space, a wine cellar, and Gaggenau appliances beneath a dramatic commercial hood. The principal reception rooms are both voluminous and light-filled, their gallery-quality lighting calibrated for displaying art.


Accommodation is versatile, with six bedrooms and six bathrooms arranged across the upper floors. At basement level, an independent suite with its own kitchenette and two bathrooms provides privacy for guests or staff. The lower ground also houses a sound-proofed projection room seating ten, a home gym with ballet barre and steam shower, and a climate-controlled wine vault with capacity for two hundred bottles.


Outdoor spaces are equally considered. The house itself has a rooftop garden planted with mature trees and shrubs, served by an automated irrigation system and complete with a built-in barbecue. There is access to the gated communal garden of Ormonde Gate, as well as membership to the adjoining Burton Court gardens and tennis courts, a rare privilege in Chelsea, particularly prized by dog-owners.


Security and practicality underpin the sense of ease: CCTV, police-linked panic buttons on every floor and a functioning alarm system are all in place.


Ormonde Gate occupies a prestigious residential pocket of Chelsea, where handsome red-brick houses and apartments line tree-shaded streets. From here, the King’s Road unfolds with its blend of designer boutiques, cafés and restaurants, while Sloane Square and the Saatchi Gallery are a short walk away.
