Chelsea, London

The price of this two-bedroom duplex is dictated by location. It is minutes away from Chelsea embankment and the Thames in one direction, and a stone’s throw from Kings Road in the other. This famous thoroughfare is lined with restaurants and bars, and the property is conveniently above the Cross Keys pub, which has been serving locals for 300 years. Despite its age, the red brick development on top - traditional in style - is modern. On the first floor are two bedrooms, while stairs head up to a large open-plan living space in the eaves. £1.2m.
