The house

Four bedroom sleeping up to 8 guests, 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, in Chelsea. Tucked away in one of Chelsea’s most coveted enclaves, Milborne Grove is a vibrant, light-filled townhouse, full of artistic bonhomie. This warm and welcoming home places up to eight guests close to some of the neighbourhood’s finest restaurants and is just a 15-minute walk from the Gloucester Road and South Kensington underground stations. Chelsea is one of the capital’s most picturesque neighbourhoods to explore.

You’ll stroll past rows of colourful Victorian houses and leafy garden squares, and if you head south, there are peaceful riverside promenades. Chelsea boasts a refined shopping scene, with chic boutiques, prestigious fashion houses, and galleries on the King’s Road. Nearby cultural treats include the Saatchi Gallery and the Royal Albert Hall, and if you head north into South Kensington, you’ll find London’s finest collection of museums. Milborne Grove is a riot of lively colours, modern art, bold fabric prints, and eclectic furniture.

The living room feels enticingly cosy with plush seating and maximalist styling, and there’s a lovely seating area just off the main room, with sliding doors out to a pretty balcony. The modern, pistachio-green kitchen offers a tranquil ambience – just right for losing yourself in a meditative cookery session. Supper can be hosted in the gorgeous teal dining room, with French doors opening onto the balcony. The sunflower-yellow primary bedroom boasts a king-size four-poster bed and an attractive ensuite with a tub and overhead shower.

The serene second bedroom houses a king-size bed and an ornate period fireplace. The final two bedrooms are perfect for children, one housing a double bed and the other, a twin lower-bunk bed. Guests of these bedrooms can refresh in the second bathroom - a primrose haven with a tub and a separate walk-in shower with rainfall head. Guests will be delighted to discover a quaint walled garden at the front of this townhouse, with a wooden dining table for al fresco suppers and sundowners.

With charm and character in abundance - both inside and out - Milborne Grove is one of Chelsea’s hidden gems. Between May and September a fan will be provided in all bedrooms.
