Chelsea property next door to Bob Marley's former home for sale
A characterful Chelsea property for sale, situated next door to Bob Marley's former home, has one of the largest gardens in the area – and it'll cost a pretty penny.
Built in 1870 and substantially remodelled by current owners, the house on Oakley Street features beautiful 17th century terracotta tiles, wooden beams from a French chateau (the owner is French), reclaimed wood panelling, steel beams clad in old railway sleepers, and marble surfaces in the kitchen.
Loaded in history, not only does it boast a very famous neighbour (the Jamaican singer-songwriter and reggae legend lived next door in 1977), but part of the garden wall was also from a manor house built for Henry VIII.
Comprising more than 4,300 sq ft with exceptional entertaining space, additional highlights include the airy double height living space set around a courtyard, the six bedrooms, five bathrooms, air conditioning, and heated swimming pool outside — perfect for a morning dip.
As for the interiors, colour plays a big part in the home, creating a warm and welcoming feel. There's a yellow ceiling in one of the reception rooms, an all-green family bathroom, and dark red wallpaper in one of the bedroom suites.
The garden summerhouse, an ideal WFH setup, comes complete with a kitchenette, shower room and sauna. Properly outfitted for remote workers, this space directly overlooks the beautifully landscaped garden packed with planting and foliage. You'll also find a lovely west-facing terrace for much-needed screen breaks.
Designed by award-winning garden designer, Jane Brockbank, the outside space is one of the largest in Chelsea. In total it spans a whopping 43 meters and includes a garden wall dating back to the 17th century. From garden parties to alfresco dining, it's the ultimate urban sanctuary.
And guess how much it costs? £10.75 million.
