Occupying a distinguished position within one of Chelsea’s most elegant residential settings, this exceptional detached house represents a genuinely rare offering within the Prime Central London lettings market; a home of remarkable scale, imagination and craftsmanship, where grand Victorian architecture and contemporary artistic vision have been brought together with extraordinary confidence and detail. Full Description - Extending to approximately 4,180 sq ft (388 sq m), with almost 270 sq m of private front and rear gardens, the house sits behind a handsome stucco façade characteristic of this quietly prestigious pocket of SW10. Built during the great Victorian expansion of Brompton and Chelsea in the late 19th century, Netherton Grove forms part of the same wider architectural tradition as nearby The Boltons; defined by grand stucco-fronted houses, classical proportions, exceptional ceiling heights and an understated sense of Prime Central London grandeur that remains as sought after today as it was over a century ago. Behind the façade, however, lies something altogether more distinctive. Conceived under the overall direction of acclaimed interior designer Hugh Henry, whose wider body of work is noted for its combination of sculptural restraint and richly tactile materials, the house has been transformed into a beautifully curated living environment of exceptional warmth, atmosphere and sophistication. Throughout the property, artistry and craftsmanship sit at the forefront of the design language: elegant, thoughtful and remarkably liveable. The sequence of reception spaces is particularly striking. A dramatic entrance foyer and library introduces the house with an immediate sense of scale and character, leading through to beautifully proportioned entertaining rooms and a remarkable studio space with ceiling heights approaching four metres. Light moves effortlessly throughout the house, enhanced further by the detached nature of the property and the wonderful south-west facing rear garden. A number of internationally recognised artists and designers contributed bespoke elements specifically commissioned for the house. Kris Ruhs curated many of the internal and external fixtures and fittings, including the bespoke steam and shower enclosure within the principal suite, external ironmongery, sculptural lighting and the hand-fired porcelain pond within the garden. The extraordinary bath within the principal bathroom was designed by Claudio Silvestrin, whilst the richly textured leather flooring to the principal bedroom was supplied by Bill Amberg. The palatial dressing room was designed by Stamps & Stamps, while the Swarovski chandelier was custom designed for the house by Georg Baldele. The principal bedroom suite occupies the entirety of the first floor, creating a remarkable private domain within the house, complete with dressing room, luxurious bathroom and steam cubicle. In total, the accommodation provides five bedrooms, including a self-contained staff suite with kitchenette on the lower ground floor, together with four bathrooms, guest WC, laundry room and wine cellar. Despite the architectural pedigree and artistic detailing, what is perhaps most impressive is the atmosphere the house achieves as a whole; calm, deeply elegant and quietly inspiring. It is a house designed not simply to impress, but to be experienced and lived in. Further benefits include off-street parking, exceptional natural light throughout and beautifully landscaped front and rear gardens.
