Grand townhouse within famed ‘Ten Acre Estate’ for sale at £5 million
In the heart of Chelsea’s ‘Ten Acre Estate’ sits this incredible five-bedroom townhouse.
Occupying a prominent position on the sought after Shalcomb Street, in the heart of Chelsea’s ‘Ten Acre Estate’, is an incredible five-bedroom townhouse. Available via market-leading local estate agency Maskells, this large family home is available for £5 million and provides exceptional living space in the form of open-plan entertaining spaces (including a purpose-built bar), a 37 ft. private landscaped garden and an impressive roof terrace.
Shalcomb Street sits within the Royal Borough’s ‘Ten Acre Estate’, a prestigious enclave of South London steeped in culture and history. Dating back to the 1700s, the area was once parkland and open fields. From the 18th Century the area began its residential transformation and now comprises mainly freehold terrace houses as well as mansion blocks with well-proportioned purpose-built flats.
Throughout the years, the ‘Ten Acre Estate’ has housed dozens of notable occupants with purchasers being drawn to the friendly, low-key atmosphere and eclectic neighbourhood.
The area is renowned for its sense of community with most residents being owner occupiers, creating a tight-knit neighbourhood, with the Ten Acre Residents Association (TARA) the first residents’ association to be awarded The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea’s Gold Standard Award for Excellence in representing residents.
The Ten Acre Estate is rich with galleries, florists, and famed restaurants such as Medlar, Ramsay’s Maze Grill and celebrity favourite La Famiglia. Residents also benefit from specialist institution Chelsea and Westminster Hospital on their doorstep.
