Attractive flat close in a celebrated architectural landmark moments away from the Kings Road

Stepping into the flat on the seventh floor, the front hall leads into a generous reception room. As well as space for separate dining and seating areas, two sash windows create a double aspect and offer impressive views over the rooftops of Chelsea. Next door is a convenient kitchen.

The flat also contains a pair of bedrooms. Both rooms have inbuilt wardrobe space and they share a bathroom with a bath.

The property is decorated in a restrained fashion, emphasising the sense of light and space throughout.

The building offers both porter and lift.



Swan Court is an architectural landmark: the first modern block of flats to be built in Chelsea during the interwar years. Unlike the Edwardian mansion block, this building offered simple apartments for young creatives who valued space and convenience.

Over the years it has been home to numerous celebrated figures. These included the writer Agatha Christie, the designers Edward McKnight Kauffer and Marion Dorn, the actors Sybil Thorndike and Lewis Casson, and the aristocrat Tom Mitford, member of the famous family. It was later the first home of Margaret and Denis Thatcher.

From here, the Kings Road is close, while Sloane Square underground station is a short walk away. Furthermore, the many restaurants and shops of Chelsea are within easy reach.
