HOW DID YOU COME TO BE INVOLVED IN THIS PROJECT?

The owners, a couple with two children, had been referred to us by a previous client. They’d been living in New York for eight years and also had a small lake house in the Hamptons. We helped them view properties on their return to the UK and they loved this street in Chelsea with its mix of mid-19th century terraces and Grade II-listed houses.
