Set on one of Knightsbridge’s most sought-after streets, this raised ground and lower-ground apartment offers grand period proportions and abundant natural light. The impressive reception room has ceilings over 3 metres and a wide bay window, creating an elegant entertaining space directly adjacent to a well-equipped kitchen.
The lower level houses two well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom opens onto a private courtyard garden, while the second bedroom benefits from its own en suite — practical for guests or flexible family use. The apartment spans approximately 1,036 sq ft, offering unusually generous accommodation for a central London flat.
Practical points include a long lease (162 years) and fast broadband with excellent mobile signal. Note the property is leasehold with a substantial annual service charge (£9,244) and relatively high council tax; the building operates a community heating scheme. The building is Victorian with solid brick walls and likely limited built-in insulation, which may affect long-term energy efficiency and retrofit costs.
Located 0.3 miles from Harrods and moments from Sloane Street boutiques, the flat delivers true central-London convenience and lifestyle. Prospective buyers should consider the high-crime index for the immediate area and budget for ongoing service, tax and potential upgrading of thermal performance where desired.
