Summary - 17 WILTON PLACE LONDON SW1X 8RL
5 bed 4 bath Terraced
Spacious Grade II townhouse with gardens and consented lift extension, ideal for a family refurbishment..
Grade II listed Georgian townhouse circa 1850
A handsome Grade II listed townhouse on the favoured southern stretch of Wilton Place, offering 3,161 sq ft across multiple floors. The house retains grand proportions including an impressive first-floor drawing room, two further reception rooms and 5/6 bedrooms with four bathrooms. Front and rear gardens plus a rear terrace provide private outdoor space in central Knightsbridge.
Planning and listed building consent has been granted to extend the building and install a passenger lift (City of Westminster: PP-12640583), presenting clear potential to modernise circulation and increase convenience. The property’s size, room count and position opposite St Paul’s Church place it well for a family seeking substantial living and entertaining space close to Hyde Park and Knightsbridge’s amenities.
Buyers should note material constraints: the Grade II listing will restrict alterations and require listed-building approvals for many changes. The EPC is rated D and the property likely needs upgrades to improve energy efficiency. Local factors include very high recorded crime levels and a very expensive council tax band, which may affect ongoing running costs.
This is a large, characterful period home with genuine scope for sensitive refurbishment. It will suit an established family or purchaser wanting central Knightsbridge living with room to adapt, and who understands the responsibilities and costs tied to a listed central London townhouse.
