6 Cheyne Walk, Grade II* listed residence in Chelsea, England

The Georgian house at 6 Cheyne Walk features elegant wrought ironwork, a recessed porch entrance, and black and white square flooring in the hall.

Built in 1717 by John Witt, the house first belonged to Richard Chapman, an apothecary, before becoming home to Alexander Spottiswood, Colonial Governor of Virginia.

The dining room, which served as Dante Gabriel Rossetti's studio, contains Japanese lacquer designs and Dutch tiles throughout its interior spaces.

The property includes a paved court with five steps leading to the front door and incorporates two wings extending toward the garden area.

The interior contains a wood winding staircase with forged iron balustrades and carved steps, demonstrating exceptional craftsmanship from the period.
