Chalcot Square Townhouse

One of the pastel-painted terraces around Chalcot Square, built in 1846 and largely unaltered on its principal floors. The current owners have held the house for twenty-two years and carried out a sympathetic refurbishment in 2016 rather than the more common practice of stripping a house like this back to brick.

The raised ground floor holds the main reception rooms with their original marble fireplaces intact, and the garden level was opened up into a single kitchen and family room in 2016, extending under a flat glass roof into what was previously a coal store.

Four bedrooms occupy the upper two floors, with the principal room looking directly onto the square’s private garden, to which the house holds a key. This one is already under offer, agreed within eleven days of coming to market.
