Summary - Flat 5, 48, Lower Sloane Street SW1W 8BP
3 bed 2 bath Flat
Characterful Victorian flat minutes from Sloane Square and King’s Road.
Top-floor split-level three-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment
Set on the top floors of an elegant Victorian red-brick building on Lower Sloane Street, this split-level three-bedroom apartment offers classic Chelsea character with high ceilings and generous reception space. At about 879 sq ft, the accommodation includes a separate kitchen, two bathrooms and west-facing bedrooms that receive afternoon light. The location is a major draw — moments from Sloane Square, King’s Road and excellent Tube links.
The flat is presented in good condition with period details, hardwood floors and secondary glazing. Its size and layout suit a small family, professional sharers or a pied-à-terre; it also has clear buy-to-let appeal given the prime postcode and strong local rental demand. The 109-year lease and absence of flood risk are practical benefits for buyers.
Buyers should note material costs: the property is leasehold, the service charge is about £2,500 per year and council tax is described as quite expensive. The apartment is a top-floor walk-up (no lift mentioned), which may limit accessibility. The building’s solid brick construction suggests limited wall insulation and there may be scope — and cost — to improve thermal performance.
Chelsea’s central setting brings abundant amenities, but also a high-crime statistic for the area and the usual central-London compromises: limited private outside space and street-facing outlooks. Overall this is a characterful, well-located flat with strong location value, best suited to buyers who prioritise central Chelsea living and period charm.
