Period proportions and terrace in prime Knightsbridge, but short lease and high charges apply.
West-facing terrace overlooking private communal gardens
Set on the first floor of a handsome Victorian building in Lennox Gardens, this two-bedroom apartment delivers elegant period proportions and direct access to a west-facing terrace overlooking the private communal gardens. The principal reception room is bright and airy, with very high ceilings, large windows and original mouldings that emphasise the apartment’s classic character.
The layout provides two good bedrooms, a separate kitchen and one bathroom. The flat is spacious at about 943 sq ft and benefits from excellent mobile and broadband connectivity and a prime Knightsbridge position within easy walking distance of Harrods, Sloane Street and local independent schools.
Important practical points: the property is leasehold with about 80 years remaining — a level that can limit mortgage availability and could deter some lenders. The service charge is around £5,000 per year and council tax is described as quite expensive. The interior shows some dated wear and would benefit from updating to realise full market potential.
This apartment will suit a buyer seeking a characterful central London home with outside space and garden-square views, or a purchaser prepared to invest in sympathetic refurbishment. Be aware of the lease length and ownership costs when assessing affordability and future financing options.
