Behind a charming and discreet façade, 31 Margaretta Terrace is on a different scale to the other houses in this attractive tree lined terrace in the heart of Old Chelsea, well known for its architectural merit. Extending to some 3,000 square feet (278.7 m²) on ground and two upper floors only, with a large garden, double garage and off street parking, this fine Listed house offers a generous and comfortable family home as well as excellent space for entertaining.
The house faces south over the front gardens of the other houses on the terrace. Approached through a garden, the front door opens into a wide entrance hall with a delightful dining room (currently used as a sitting room) adjoining. At the rear there is a magnificent garden room (24'7'' x 19'4'') opening through French windows on two sides into a secluded garden (56'9'' x 33'9'').
There is planning consent to extend the property in the rear garden, adjoining the kitchen and the garage, with internal access from the kitchen, study and garage.
