6 Bedroom Penthouse For Sale In Chelsea Powerhouse, London

The Powerhouse has stood on this bend of the Thames for more than a century. It was built to power London’s Underground, and its brick walls and great proportions were made to last. Today it holds some of the most distinctive homes in Chelsea, and it remains the landmark of Chelsea Waterfront.

Inside, the scale of the building sets the mood. Ceilings are generous, windows are tall, and the light falls deep into the rooms. The residences are lateral, and each faces the river, the creek or the streets of Chelsea. There are two-bedroom homes with a study, four-bedroom family residences overlooking the water, and on the upper floors a collection of duplex penthouses of up to six bedrooms and over 4,000 sq ft. Many are complete and ready to move into, and a number are offered furnished.

The heart of the building is its atrium, a grand public room open to the light and lined with shops and places to meet. A Sainsbury’s sits within it. Residents have private use of the pool, spa, fitness club, lounge, restaurant and bar. A concierge is always on call, the estate is reached by a private road, and parking is underground.

Beyond the doors, the gardens lead down to the riverside walk. Dogs are welcome, and the water is part of every day. Chelsea’s design quarter is next door, and the King’s Road and the village streets are a short stroll away.

Living in the Powerhouse means living in a piece of London’s history at the centre of a neighbourhood of its own: storied, assured, and calm at the water’s edge.
