Spacious three-bedroom home moments from Harrods and Hyde Park.
2,583 sq ft lateral apartment with grand high ceilings
This newly refurbished lateral apartment occupies 2,583 sq ft of grand, high‑ceilinged living in a red‑brick Knightsbridge mansion block. The vast double reception (45 ft x 18 ft) with private balcony and a designer eat‑in kitchen create excellent entertaining flow for family life or formal hosting.
Three double bedrooms each include floor‑to‑ceiling wardrobes and en‑suite marble bathrooms; the principal suite adds dual dressing areas and a large private bathroom. High‑spec fittings — marble floors, underfloor heating, full air conditioning, integrated Lutron lighting and home automation — deliver contemporary comfort while preserving period proportions.
Practical strengths include a share of freehold, an exceptionally long lease (c.958 years), resident porter, passenger lift and 24‑hour security. The location is among London’s most sought after: moments from Harrods, Sloane Street and Hyde Park with excellent tube links.
Notable considerations: annual service charge is high (£14,000), council tax band is expensive, and the EPC is D. The building has secondary glazing and solid brick walls (assumed no cavity insulation), which may influence long‑term energy performance. Crime statistics for the immediate area are very high; purchasers should review local safety measures and insurance implications.
