This exceptional residence in Chelsea offers a rare combination of architectural heritage, creative history, and versatile living space. Built in 1911 for watercolorist Cecil Arthur Hunt by architect Ralph Knott, this impressive building is an exemplary example of a London house-studio, specially constructed to provide elegant living and a dramatic studio for an artist.

Situated over four principal floors and covering 2,937 sq. ft, the property includes three spacious bedrooms, a magnificent studio space, formal and informal reception rooms, a roof garden, and a private garage with parking — all of which are rare in central Chelsea.

On the ground floor, a spacious entrance hall leads to a formal reception room on one side and a large kitchen with a breakfast area on the other. The kitchen is equipped with a central island and built-in appliances, creating a practical and cozy zone, ideal for informal dining and entertaining. At the rear of the house, a suite on the ground floor offers flexibility as a guest bedroom, study, or additional family room.

The second floor features a spacious master bedroom with a dressing room, boudoir, and bathroom, as well as access to the roof garden, perfect for enjoying the afternoon sun and al fresco dining. Also on this floor are a second bedroom with an en-suite bathroom and an additional WC.

Before reaching the top floor, there is a bright study on the mezzanine level. At the center of the top level is an impressive artist's studio with double-height ceilings, a striking fireplace, and large windows. The scale is truly grand. Nearby is a paneled library alcove and a hidden bar overlooking this enchanting street to the west.

The entire house has undergone a modern renovation of the highest standard. Classic features such as decorative moldings, high ceilings, and wooden floors are combined with contemporary quality finishes, creating a home that is both sophisticated and welcoming.

Rich in history and beautifully designed, this is an extraordinary home in one of Chelsea's most sought-after addresses. Mallord Street is one of Chelsea's most charming and historic streets, close to King's Road and all its amenities. The street, lined with beautiful Arts and Crafts-style houses, is associated with artistic and literary residents. It was named after J. M. W. Turner (Mallord was his middle name) and has been home to notable creative figures, including A. A. Milne and Hungarian pianist Louis Kentner.

The location provides easy access to the Sloane Square and South Kensington tube stations, as well as to Chelsea's renowned schools, galleries, boutiques, and restaurants. Despite its centrality, Mallord Street maintains a tranquil, residential atmosphere, making it one of the most desirable addresses in SW3.
