An upper‑floor, two‑storey apartment in prestigious Rutland Gate, SW7, combines period character with contemporary fittings. The flat offers three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a private terrace overlooking tranquil communal gardens—rare outdoor space in this part of Knightsbridge. A lift provides convenient access to the apartment within a well‑maintained, mid‑terrace period building close to Hyde Park, Brompton Road and top leisure and retail amenities.
The location is a prime strength: excellent transport links (Knightsbridge and South Kensington nearby), high local demand from professionals and international renters, and proximity to renowned independent schools. The interior presents as modern and well kept, with a bright reception room, fireplace, fitted kitchen with integrated appliances and wood flooring throughout.
Buyers should note significant transactional constraints. The lease has only 31 years remaining — many mortgage lenders will refuse to lend on such a short lease, which will limit the market largely to cash buyers or those prepared to fund a lease extension. Service charges are high (£12,452 p.a.) and council tax is listed as very expensive, both of which materially increase running costs. The building’s solid brick construction likely lacks cavity insulation and double glazing was installed before 2002, so further energy improvements may be needed.
Overall, this is a rare central Knightsbridge apartment with outdoor space and strong location appeal. It will suit a buyer able to manage lease extension costs or an investor/cash purchaser targeting high‑value London stock who accepts elevated service charges and potential retrofit work.
