London - Townhouse 2 Bedrooms
This two-bedroom Victorian townhouse for rent in Chelsea blends modern sophistication with heritage charm. Retaining its stucco façade and steeped in history as the site of a former Victorian dairy house, Oakley Gardens combines period elegance with contemporary design and eco-friendly credentials. The stone-tiled hallway leads to a spacious double reception room, where period features like ornate cornicing and a carved stone fireplace are bathed in natural light from a full-height sash window. The room is divided into a seating area and a dining space with a marble table, designed for hosting. A study at the end of the hall enjoys peaceful courtyard views through a Crittall-style door. On the garden level, the kitchen and dining space is flooded with light, featuring a central wooden island with a marble worktop, Shaker-style cabinetry, and premium appliances including a Lacanche range. A walk-in pantry adds both storage and a splash of colour. The family room and practical boot room complete this floor. The tranquil courtyard garden, with whitewashed walls and raised flower beds, extends the interior for al fresco dining. Upstairs, the principal suite features bespoke joinery, a velvet headboard and a marble-clad en suite with dual rainfall showers. The guest bedroom has access to a private roof terrace, and is served by the family bathroom, featuring rustic red panelling and an arched alcove bath.
