Belgravia is a long-distinguished area, with the historic King’s Road, the stately Victoria and Albert Museum and Hyde Park all nearby. And Chesham Street will meet the highest expectations. The courtyard garden is all white-washed decking and climbing plants, and there’s a woven table next to the bird sculpture. Back in through the French doors is the glamorous living area, stretching all the way to the kitchen. And on the same level is the master bedroom, framed with ornate wallpaper, billowy curtains and a mirrored dresser. But the ensuite is perhaps even more inviting – it’s papered with florals and equipped with a stone-tiled, walk-in shower.

Opulent tastes

Your hosts travel frequently but always enjoy returning to London, where they relish Belgravia’s refined milieu. They’re fond of beautiful things, and have filled Chesham Street with fittingly fancy objets.

Majestically adorned

The open-plan living area is this home’s centrepiece. Glorious oil paintings embellish the walls, and an oriental cabinet displays a range of antique ornaments. The dining area – just beyond the mirrored column – is set with a sleek, glass table with seats for six. From here, step past the oversized portraits of Kennedy and Monroe and you’ll find the gleaming kitchen, where beautiful blue glassware complements blue-grey cabinets. Or indulge in the bathroom’s generous bathtub, positioned against the mirrored wall
