Set on the fourth floor of a small purpose-built block on Sloane Street, this bright two-bedroom flat offers a compact, well-presented base in one of London’s most prestigious streets. Large windows and wood flooring give the reception room a fresh, modern feel while retaining period building character. The building includes a porter, lift (from first floor) and easy access to Pavilion Road and the high-end shopping of Knightsbridge.
The layout is efficient: two double bedrooms, a single bathroom and a compact kitchen within an internal area of approximately 657 sq ft (60.55 sqm). The flat is in good condition and ready to occupy, making it suitable for first-time buyers seeking a central London home or buyers wanting an immediate rental opportunity in an affluent area. Heating is provided via a community scheme and windows have secondary glazing.
Important practical points: the property is leasehold with around 116 years remaining and a ground rent of £400 (average). Council tax is described as quite expensive. The building dates from 1900–1929 and has solid brick walls likely without insulation; this may affect future energy efficiency improvements. The local crime level is very high — buyers should factor in security considerations.
Nearby conveniences are exceptional: world-class retail on Sloane Street and Knightsbridge, Harrods within walking distance, and Hyde Park close by for recreation. Broadband and mobile signals are strong and the neighbourhood is an inner-city cosmopolitan area populated by white-collar workers. Overall, this flat offers central location and good condition but comes with leasehold costs and some practical trade-offs to consider.
