Summary - 18 Empire House, Thurloe Place SW7 2RU
3 bed 3 bath Apartment
Large three-bedroom lateral flat in prime South Kensington location, ideal for family living..
1,574 sq ft lateral apartment with high ceilings and triple-aspect bay windows
Set within a distinguished Victorian corner building on Thurloe Place, this expansive lateral apartment offers 1,574 sq ft of well-proportioned living in one of London’s most sought-after pockets. Triple-aspect bay windows and high ceilings bring abundant light to separate sitting and dining areas, creating an ideal layout for family life and entertaining. Two of the three bedrooms are en suite; the principal suite includes a large walk-in wardrobe, while a fitted kitchen with high-spec appliances supports comfortable everyday living. A dedicated in-house porter provides added convenience and security.
The property blends period character with modern finishes: ornate exterior architecture, solid brick construction, and contemporary bathrooms and kitchen. Secondary glazing and a community heating scheme serve the apartment, though the building’s solid brick walls are assumed to lack insulation — a potential upgrade consideration for buyers seeking improved thermal performance. The long lease (168 years) is a practical advantage for a leasehold purchase in central London.
Located between South Kensington and Knightsbridge, the flat is exceptionally well placed for museums, designer stores, fine dining and green space at Hyde Park. Excellent mobile and fast broadband connectivity support home working. Nearby high-performing schools and premier local amenities make this attractive for families seeking central convenience.
Notable practical points: the building dates from before 1900 and may require ongoing conservation-sensitive maintenance; crime in the immediate area is reported as very high, which may influence insurance and security preferences. Prospective buyers should factor service arrangements and running costs associated with a prime central-London residence into their decision.
