Set within a gated Edwardian mansion block on Rutland Gardens, this expansive four-bedroom apartment offers substantial lateral living in the heart of Knightsbridge. The grand double reception room with high ceilings and classical detailing creates an elegant space for family life and entertaining, while the adjoining kitchen and dining area provide practical everyday flow. The principal suite includes an en-suite and walk-in wardrobe, and three further bedrooms provide flexible accommodation for children, guests or home office use.
Residents benefit from 24-hour concierge, porterage, lift access and secure, barrier-controlled entry directly off Rutland Gardens. The location is exceptionally central: Hyde Park is moments away and the luxury shops, museums and transport links of Knightsbridge and South Kensington are within easy walking distance. Several top independent schools are also nearby, making the apartment well suited to families seeking a prestigous central base.
Practical details that materially affect cost and condition should be noted. The property is in a pre-1900 solid-brick building likely without modern cavity insulation, and heating is provided via a community mains-gas scheme. Service charges are high at approximately £16,000 per year. Crime levels in the immediate area are reported as above average — the building’s gated security and concierge mitigate this but it is a local datapoint to consider.
On the positive side, the apartment carries a very long residential lease (c. 967 years) and is sold as a share of freehold, reducing tenure risk. The combination of generous internal space (c. 2,529 sq ft), period character, and an unrivalled central Knightsbridge address represents a rare opportunity for a family wanting classical proportions and proximity to London’s best amenities. Buyers should budget for ongoing service costs and potential improvement works to modernise insulation and services.
