A raised ground-floor apartment set within an elegant stucco-fronted Georgian building on Rutland Gate, moments from Hyde Park and Knightsbridge. The flat offers two double bedrooms, two bathrooms (one en suite), a separate kitchen and a generous reception room with tall ceilings and large sash windows that flood the rooms with light.
Practical strengths include a long 957-year lease, share of freehold, lift access and a resident caretaker. Built-in storage is ample and the property retains strong period character — cornice detail, high ceilings and classical exterior proportions — making it appealing to buyers seeking a central London character home or a prime rental in a prestigious address.
Notable considerations are factual: the building uses secondary glazing, the walls are likely solid brick with no built-in insulation, and broadband speeds are reported as very slow. Service charges average £3,642 and council tax is described as quite expensive; there is no private garden. Crime levels are above average for the area, which prospective buyers should weigh alongside location benefits.
This is a well-proportioned central property that suits buyers prioritising location, character and long lease security. It will particularly suit those prepared to accept some modernisation (improving insulation, glazing and broadband) to maximise comfort or rental return in a prime Knightsbridge setting.
