New arch to court created at Painter's Yard behind Old Church Street

The design is in the heart of the Chelsea Conservation area and involves an area of land along the eastern side of Old Church Street closest to the river.  It includes 4 new town houses, 3 new cottages, 4 new maisonettes and 21 new apartments, as well as a Vicarage, a new Church Hall.

Painter’s Yard is a new mixed used development in the heart of Old Chelsea.  The site originally housed old industrial premises that had been partly bombed during the war.  The scheme demolished an existing vicarage and church hall built in the 1970s.  The Masterplan restores the street frontage to Old Church Street and creates courts at the rear through archways from the street.  In addition to Painter’s Yard, an arched court, reminiscent of a cloister, was formed between the Church and the new Church Hall.  A new vicarage and an apartment for a church warden were also incorporated. 

HRH The Prince of Wales opened the Church Hall in 2001.
