6 Cheyne Walk, Grade II* listed residence in Chelsea, England
The house is a Georgian residence with elegant wrought ironwork and a recessed entrance. Black and white checkered flooring marks the entrance hall, while two wings extend toward the garden.
The building was constructed in 1717 by John Witt for Richard Chapman, an apothecary. It later became the home of Alexander Spottiswood, Colonial Governor of Virginia.
The dining room displays Japanese lacquer work and Dutch tiles on its walls. This artistic decoration reflects the taste of earlier residents who drew inspiration from Far Eastern and European styles.
Access to the house is by a paved courtyard with five steps up to the front door. The property is private and can only be viewed from the outside.
A wooden spiral staircase with forged iron railings runs through the interior of the house. The carved steps show exceptional craftsmanship from the building period.
