4 Cheyne Walk, Grade II* listed house in Chelsea, London.
4 Cheyne Walk is a red brick house in Chelsea with a distinctive entrance framed by carved brackets and ornate Corinthian pilasters. The interior includes spacious reception rooms and upper-floor bedrooms with windows overlooking the river.
The house was built in 1718, with its date confirmed by numbers stamped on a lead rainwater pipe at the rear. It stands as a record of early Georgian architecture from that period.
The novelist George Eliot lived at this residence with her husband John Cross in 1880, leading to the installation of a commemorative blue plaque.
The house sits on a busy street along the Thames embankment and is visible from the pavement. Visitors can only appreciate its exterior features and architecture from the public street.
The interior walls feature oil paintings that were once thought to be by Sir James Thornhill, but the actual artist has never been identified. This mystery gives the house an intriguing artistic puzzle.
