Studio For Sale

Positioned on the second floor of a handsome period building on Cheyne Walk, this bright and well-presented studio flat makes an ideal Chelsea base. The main room is a great size for a studio, with excellent natural light from the large windows with commanding views over the river Thames. There is a kitchenette neatly set into the room, along with good built-in storage, and a separate shower room. The flat has been subject to recent refurbishment and is presented in immaculate condition.

Cheyne Walk is one of Chelsea’s most sought-after addresses, overlooking the Thames and perfectly placed for the world-class shops, bars and restaurants. Sloane Square and South Kensington are both within easy reach for the District/Circle (and Piccadilly from South Ken). Riverside walks on the doorstep, as well as the open spaces around the Royal Hospital Chelsea and Battersea Park is just across the river.

Charles Robert Ashbee and Cheyne Walk

Nos. 39 and 40 Cheyne Walk were designed around 1900 by Charles Robert Ashbee, an important figure in the Arts and Crafts movement. He lived next door at No. 37 making his link to this stretch of Cheyne Walk both professional and personal. Ashbee was known not only as an architect, but also for his work in jewellery, furniture and metalwork, and was admired for bringing craftsmanship and artistic integrity into every aspect of design. He was one of the leading designers of his time, and his connection to this part of Cheyne Walk adds another layer of interest to these distinctive buildings (Oxford Reference, “Charles Robert Ashbee”).
