Summary - Ovington Square, Knightsbridge SW3 SW3 1LH
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Compact, well-presented flat ideal for first-time buyers or central London investors.
Third-floor period flat (no lift) with garden-square outlook
A bright one-bedroom flat on the third floor of a white stucco period building, set directly onto Ovington Square. The apartment has an open-plan kitchen/reception with wooden floors and windows overlooking the garden square, one double bedroom with fitted storage and a modern shower room. A separate 64 sq ft room on the half-landing provides useful storage or a compact home office and is included in the stated 544 sq ft total.
This property will suit a single buyer, couple or a buy-to-let investor seeking a compact central Knightsbridge address. Transport and amenities are exceptional: Harrods is roughly 0.2 miles away and both South Kensington and Knightsbridge stations are within comfortable walking distance. Hyde Park and the square’s communal gardens add a leafy, central-London feel to the setting.
Practical considerations are straightforward: the flat is on the third floor with no lift, and the service charge is relatively high at £4,573.20 per annum. The lease is very long (979 years) with share of freehold and a peppercorn ground rent. The building appears well maintained externally, but the internal wall construction is solid brick with assumed lack of insulation and the EPC is rated E. Council tax banding is expensive and local crime levels are recorded as very high, which buyers should factor in.
Overall this is a well-presented, compact period flat in a prime Knightsbridge square with good transport links and rental potential, balanced by third-floor access only, above-average running costs and modest energy performance.
