Set on the third floor of a handsome period building on Basil Street, this exceptionally spacious two-bedroom flat offers 1,280 sq ft of well-proportioned living in the heart of Knightsbridge. High Georgian ceilings, large windows and a decorative fireplace give the living room strong period character, while a modern eat-in kitchen and two sleek shower rooms provide contemporary comfort.
The flat is arranged with generous bedrooms and bright, airy reception space throughout, making it suitable for comfortable city living or a pied-à-terre. Its location is a major selling point: moments from Harrods, high-end shops, restaurants and Knightsbridge (Piccadilly line) tube station, with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal.
Practical facts to note: the property is leasehold with an exceptionally long lease remaining (982 years) and benefits from a community heating scheme fed by mains gas. The building is solid-brick and dates from before 1900; insulation appears limited and some thermal or acoustic upgrades may be desired. Crime statistics for the immediate area are very high, which should be weighed against the central location and concierge/management arrangements if present.
This flat will appeal to buyers seeking a large, characterful central London apartment with modern kitchen and baths, strong rental or lifestyle appeal, and scope to personalise thermal and sound insulation or other finishings. It is a straightforward purchase for those wanting immediate access to Knightsbridge’s amenities and transport links, with a long lease reducing one common city-centre ownership concern.
