The Draycott Place Residence
Perks for the Parents
A spacious duplex just steps from the Kings Road in Chelsea, with pretty period features and fun kids rooms. It sleeps 7. This is the perfect pad for families who want to explore the city: you’ll find the best eateries and shops just round the corner, plus museums, galleries, parks and the River Thames within easy reach. It’s around half an hour to the sights of the Southbank or the City.
Why Kids Love it
Kids will love the bedrooms, which can be opened up as a large sharing room (for 4) or separated into 2 bedrooms (each sleeping 2). It’s just a 15-minute walk to the city’s best family museums in South Kensington: the Natural History Museum, the Science Museum and the V&A museum.
Things to Know
No smoking, pets or parties. The lead guest must be at least 25 years old. All guests will receive a rental agreement prior to their stay which must be signed and submitted. Please note this property does not allow children under 12 due to the art and fragile ornaments on display. Please note, there is no step-free access to this property. This ground and lower-ground floor duplex home has no lift. The second and third bedroom are separated by an optional bifold door which can be pulled across to act as a room divider. Please note, when separated, the second bedroom no longer has a window.
About the Location
This apartment is located in the heart of Chelsea, just a few minutes’ walk from the world-famous Kings Road, where you’ll find beautiful boutiques, amazing restaurants, family-friendly cafes and the Saatchi Gallery. It’s less than 10 minutes’ walk to Sloane Square subway station (or 12 minutes’ walk to South Kensington station) and buses are available all along Kings Road.
Accommodation Details
This residence has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, set over 2 floors. On the entry level (up a small set of stairs), the spacious living room has a single sofabed for extra guests, although the maximum occupancy is 7. Up a few steps to a raised level, the kitchen boasts an eat-in table for 4-6. There is also a separate WC on this level. On the lower ground floor, you’ll find the primary bedroom with a super kingsize bed and access to a small outdoor area. This room also has an ensuite bathroom with a walk-in shower. Next to the primary suite, there’s a second bedroom with a single trundle bed (sleeping up to 2) and the third bedroom (when separated from bedroom 2 with the bifold screen) has another single trundle bed. There is also a second bathroom on this floor with a walk-in shower.
Style Notes
Fantastic features. This stunning period home is full of original features, including the grand fireplace in the living room, the arched windows and the tiled porch. There’s plenty of natural light coming through the floor-to-ceiling windows in the living spaces, while fresh white interiors and cream color furnishings complement the classic style. We love the living room picture rail, the colorful kids rooms and the elegant gray kitchen.

Kensington & Chelsea, London
Hyde Park, Harrods and Her Majesty
The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea has a certain cachet. It’s where you’ll find Buckingham Palace, Sloane Square, the King’s Road, Harrods and many of the most upmarket stores and areas of the city. For kids, Hyde Park is a must-do, whether you go boating on the Serpentine on summer or enjoy the kid-friendly cafés around it. It’s a central area very well connected with the rest of the city by bus and Tube.
