It is indisputable that the chic polished avenues of London’s SW1 neighbourhood of Belgravia, have never ceased in their endeavours to entice the nations and far-flung aristocratic cliques as they luxuriate in an elaborate cocoon of nouvelle-cuisine eateries, designer sanctums and pristine grandeur abodes. 

A landmark high-brow regeneration spectacle nestled on a former army barracks on Chelsea Bridge Road, Chelsea Barracks luxuriates in a sprawling 12.8-acre site in a revolutionary grandeur recast, highly heralded as one of the most beguiling addresses around the pedigreed sphere as it commands the scenic picturesque botanical vistas of both the lush emerald hued gardens of Mulberry Square, and Whistler Square.

With Qatari Diar Europe resting at the forefront of the design spectrum, the Chelsea Barracks blueprint is witnessing the dawning of gloried assemblage of penthouses, mews and townhouses, neighbouring a plethora of epicurean restaurants, boutiques and state-of-the-art health club and spa.

Injecting a dose of periodic palatial Georgian spirit into this unabashed, luxe-living city community, the 2023 grand reveal of Chelsea Barrack’s 2 Mulberry Square embodies the pinnacle of traditional nostalgic country townhouse resplendence, swivelled with a chic in-vogue panache.

Valued at a prosperous valuation at £42,000,000, this up to the minute turn-key offering adopts the spirit of a symmetrical, regal Bridgerton abode bedecked in a pure taintless white facade, to unearth a five bedroom architecturally stately belle exquisitely crafted with state-of-the-art modern amenities that revises the dictionary definition of living on a bed of roses.

Gracing its lavish presence over six sweeping floors, 2 Mulberry remains unapologetic in unabashedly shunning the conventionally custom proportions of a classical Belgravia townhouse, spanning to an immense eight to ten metres over their habitual six to eight.

Taking to the design reigns to weave their meticulous interior sorcery, our native London based creatives of Albion Nord have flourished in their voyage of injecting the tenor of palatial quintessential Britishness with intricate antiques and vintage treasures, all interweaved with a booster of quirky animated playfulness of bold accents and eclectic artworks, specially sourced and commissioned by British artists of the Cadogan Gallery, Richeldis Fine Art & Pullman Editions on the Pimlico Road, rounded off with the adornments of English herringbone and marble flooring throughout the space.

The ground floor proudly plays host to the serene welcoming ambience of the Family Room, swathed in a rich sheathe of dusky sky blue with art-deco lighting and pastel patterned cushioning, not to neglect the captivating ambience of the Study enveloped in a tranquil earthy green hue to make for a composed place of work for their discerning lodgers.

Embracing a sultry, yet urbane elegant milieu with its garnet red tincture courtesy of Sibyl Colefax & John Fowler, the first floor’s dining room makes for an impeccable soirée habitat for its dining visitants graced with a chocolate wooden take of Herculean proportions, delicate dinnerware and accents of contemporary British artwork against the gleaming lashings of exquisite Italian pavonazzo antique marble plinths, whilst its equally debonair neighbour of dazzling Formal Reception played to an invigorating yet placid makeup of earthy greens walls, uplifted amongst the luminescent pearl shaded curtains and soft furnishings to be rounded off with a vibrant colour burst from the burnt orange throws, as a set of ethereal antique crystal chandeliers towered over the space, radiating its flaxen sparkle with ceremonial pomp.

The magnificent kitchen at this blue-blooded abode, relishes in its hush-hush antics of a secret jib door to unearth a hidden pantry abundant with culinary delicacies and refreshments, whilst fitted with floor-to-ceiling joinery with a multitude of contemporary functions of consolidated stylish banquette seating, and an endearing sliding artwork piece to reveal the sleek wide screen TV.

Where just a mediocre spa and pool in a busy city setting is considered a blissful getaway, the second lower ground floor of 2 Mulberry square should be judged nothing less than a haven of blissful ecstasy.

Home to a celestial wellness oasis that grants you an affluent resort spa experience to your habitation, a powder blue rippling sanctuary stretches across a sizeable 11.3m fitted with gym, sauna and steam room to make for an unparalleled starlet to this unique charming property with the enhancements of natural materials, layered sun-beds and rows of olive trees for a sprinkle of far-flung tropical magic.

Housed within the property, the spa allows for complete privacy and exclusivity, paramount for the discerning purchaser. This level serves both wellness and entertainment needs, offering a White Wine and Champagne Room, a Red Wine and Cigar Room and a Cinema that has been designed in a rich heritage green colour relating to the heritage of Chelsea Barracks.

In recognising the importance of outdoor space in central London and its contribution to wellbeing, Chelsea Barracks provides numerous outdoor havens.

Atop each Mulberry Square townhouse, the rare exclusive roof terrace offers copious measurements for their glitterati sun-seekers, with an elevation of the roof terrace to allow for the quaint surroundings of Chelsea Barracks with its beautiful, landscaped gardens and beyond; the five acres of public garden squares the development has created is unprecedented green space for a Central London development.

A sustainable design approach has been implemented by Albion Nord through the use of both antiques, craftsmanship and natural materiality.

Richard Oakes, Chief Sales & Marketing Officer Europe & America, at Qatari Diar commented, “2 Mulberry Square celebrates Chelsea Barracks’ heritage and British craftsmanship whilst going above and beyond the current standard of luxury living in Prime Central London. The standout private spa amenities provide the ultimate space for comfort and calm, showcasing our commitment to wellness and lifestyle enhancement. A theme that sits both at the core of 2 Mulberry Square and throughout Chelsea Barracks. Together with PDP and Albion Nord, we have adapted the wider design and architecture principles of a Georgian townhouse for the modern day and buyer. Our townhouses are built to stand the test of time whilst honouring this deep-rooted history and heritage of Chelsea Barracks”.
