Description

Cheyne Walk is more than a family home - it is an exceptional collector's gem, the like of which is extremely difficult to find these days in Central London. Having been completely updated, interior designed and modernised by the current owners, the house has a number of unique features and incredible rooms.
The house is well-positioned behind a green space but still offers far reaching views across the river and of the stunning Albert Bridge.
One of the best rooms in the house is the atmospheric first floor drawing room that has incredible views across the river, as well as a bar area in the rear closet wing. It is rumoured that Charles Dickens often visited the house and wrote in this room.
The bespoke kitchen/breakfast room at the rear is bright and airy and opens in to the stunning100ft garden that has a historic boundary wall.
Extensive leisure and living space with incredible proportions are on the lower floors and house a fabulous games room, cinema room and large indoor swimming pool.
The 5/6 bedrooms in the house include a very generous principal suite which is beautifully appointed and has spectacular views as well as air-conditioning and underfloor heating in the bathroom.
