Enjoy summer in London when you own the perfect apartment in Chelsea, offering access to the ultimate city lifestyle right on your doorstep.
A pied-a-terre in London can mean different things to different owners: perhaps an escape to the city, a place to rest and recharge, a base for professional work, or a London home to entertain friends and family and embrace the ‘London season’ in summer. Whatever your motivations, there is a popular wish list for a London base that we encounter time and time again.
‘A London bolt hole should be based in an inspiring building, a wonderful period heritage building is a favourite. It should be fully renovated, without the hassle of redevelopment work, offer easy lateral living and a concierge service to help manage the times when the owners are away. A lock and leave is a very specific living configuration,' notes Laurence Lai when addressing client needs.
Location is so important, when only short visits are possible. A convenient location close to sports, the arts and London culture, not forgetting London transport. But respite from the heat of the city is welcome too. A verdant leafy environment would be perfect.
Is it possible to find a luxury apartment in London which ticks all these boxes? The answer is yes. YOUhome London currently has a stunning 2-bedroom apartment for sale in Chelsea which would make an exceptional London base for a domestic professional buyer, international visitor or empty nesters.
