See inside luxe £10m Chelsea mansion for sale on street once home to Oscar Wilde, David Bowie and George Best

At more than 4,300 sq ft, it has six bedrooms, three bathrooms and a terrace, while the garden is one of Chelsea’s largest, at 40 metres with a 12 metre heated pool.

A rare chance to buy a house on one of London’s coolest streets - once home to Oscar Wilde, David Bowie and George Best - is available to anyone with a spare £10m.

The house sits on one of Chelsea’s most sought-after roads, Oakley Street.

Reggae legend Bob Marley moved into the house next door in 1977, while Number 89 was the home of footballing icon George Best.

Acclaimed Irish playwright Oscar Wilde lived at Number 87, while even beloved pop star David Bowie was drawn to the road, moving into Number 89 in 1973.

The road, which starts just off the King’s Road in Chelsea and runs to the River Thames, was also home to Donald Maclean, a British diplomat who spied for the Soviet Union.

While it was built in 1870, the house has only had three owners in its lifetime, with the current owner living in the house for the past 15 years and undertaking huge renovations.

He has brought in wooden beams from a French chateau, and 17th century terracotta tiles, transforming the house into a bold and unique home.

At more than 4,300 sq ft, it has six bedrooms, three bathrooms and a west-facing terrace, while the garden is one of Chelsea’s largest, at 40 metres with a 12 metre heated pool.

In the corner of the garden is a summer house fitted with a kitchen, shower and sauna.

The house is on the market with central London-based estate agents Tedworth Property.

A spokeswoman said: “It is a truly unique property in the heart of Chelsea.

“The house has been thoughtfully and cleverly redesigned by the current owner to create an exceptionally bright and airy double height living space set around a courtyard - perfect for all year round al-fresco entertaining.”
