A rare unbroken freehold in Knightsbridge, this mixed-use mid-terrace on Beauchamp Place offers substantial scale and income potential in a prime central-London shopping street. The property comprises a large retail unit across lower ground and ground floors, with a generous one-bedroom flat over the first and second floors. It is sold with vacant possession and presents a development opportunity, including a possible additional floor subject to planning consent.
The building totals approximately 2,198 sq ft, with estimated rental values for the current layout of £100,000 pa (retail) and £48,000 pa (residential). For an investor or developer, the site’s location — a short walk from Harrods and Sloane Street — and classification as an unbroken freehold are strong commercial advantages, offering flexibility on future use and repositioning (subject to consents).
Buyers should note material considerations: the area records very high crime levels, council tax is expensive for the residential unit, and the property’s walls are listed as system-built with no assumed insulation, which may require remedial work or upgrades. Any upward extension or change of use will require the necessary planning approvals from local authorities. The plot is small and the building is period stock (c.1900–1929), so refurbishment must respect conservation and planning constraints.
Overall this is a strategic central-London holding for a buyer comfortable with hands-on asset management and planning-led value creation. The combination of large commercial floor area, central retail frontage and residential accommodation creates multiple exit and income scenarios — from lease to owner-occupy with redevelopment potential — but purchase should be assessed against likely refurbishment costs and planning risk.
