56 Old Church Street, Grade II listed house in Chelsea, London
56 Old Church Street is a Grade II listed house in Chelsea that dates from the early 1700s and features expansive gardens surrounding the property. The interior includes ten bedroom suites and a ballroom, configured following substantial renovations completed in the 1990s.
The house was built in 1725 and originally served as the residence for rectors of Chelsea parish church. After St Luke's Church was consecrated in 1824, the property's purpose within the local community shifted.
The building served as a rectory for Chelsea parish church, hosting clergy who were central to the local religious community. Its connection to the church shaped its character and position within the neighborhood for generations.
The property provides access to expansive private gardens that occupy much of the grounds. The Chelsea location offers convenient access to nearby shops and cultural venues in the surrounding area.
The property contains one of London's largest private gardens, purchased by a Norwegian shipping magnate in 2001. This extensive garden area sets it apart from typical London townhouses.
