Directly opposite Harrods — exceptional central location
Two double bedrooms, each with en-suite bathrooms
Huge reception room; well fitted kitchen and good storage
Long lease: 161 years remaining (leasehold)

This large two-bedroom apartment occupies a prized position directly opposite Harrods in South Kensington, offering instant access to flagship shops, restaurants and transport links. The flat has two en-suite bedrooms, a very large reception room and a well-fitted kitchen, making it suitable for full-time city living or short-term rental income in a prime West London location.
Practical features include a long lease (161 years remaining), concierge service and ample built-in storage. The building dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s with double glazing; heating is provided via a community mains-gas scheme, which simplifies management but ties residents to the building system.
Buyers should factor in material running costs: an exceptionally high service charge of £26,569 per year and a small ground rent of £100. The building’s solid-brick construction likely lacks modern cavity insulation and may need energy-efficiency upgrades. The local crime level is recorded as high, which may influence both residential comfort and rental perceptions.
For investors or buyers prioritising location and space, this apartment brings rare scale and convenience in SW3. For owner-occupiers, the daily benefits of concierge, location and transport are balanced against ongoing service costs and some building-age considerations.
