15 Cheyne Walk, Grade II* listed house in Chelsea, London.

The four-storey red-brick building features four symmetrical windows on each floor and maintains unobstructed views of the River Thames.

Admiral Sir John Balchen resided at 15 Cheyne Walk from its construction in 1718 until his death at sea in 1744.

The residence hosted the first meeting of the Fight the Famine Committee in 1919, which later developed into the Save the Children Fund.

The building requires special permissions for any modifications due to its Grade II* listed status, ensuring preservation of architectural elements.

The property served as a filming location for the 2002 film The Gathering Storm, representing the home of Churchill's friend Sir Desmond Morton.
