Set within a red‑brick mansion block on Egerton Gardens, this one‑bedroom apartment offers a compact, well‑appointed base in one of South Kensington’s most desirable garden squares. The flat benefits from lift access, a resident caretaker and use of attractive communal gardens — strong lifestyle draws for an occupier or tenant seeking central London convenience.
Internally the apartment is arranged as an open‑plan kitchen/reception with wooden flooring and a generous double bedroom fitted with bespoke deep wardrobes. The contemporary bathroom includes both a bath and a separate shower. The property has a long lease (165 years) and good transport links: South Kensington tube is approximately 0.4 miles and Knightsbridge 0.6 miles.
Buyers should note several practical considerations: overall floor area is small (circa 422 sq ft), heating is by electric room heaters rather than a central system, and glazing is secondary only. The building appears to have solid brick walls with no insulation assumed, which may affect running costs. Service charges are above average at around £4,800 per year and council tax is also above average.
This apartment will suit someone who values location, ease of access and attractive communal grounds over generous internal space. It offers clear buy‑to‑let potential in a prime area and is equally suited as a pied‑à‑terre for a professional or couple, provided the practical caveats (running costs, compact size and local crime levels) are acceptable.
