Summary - EMPIRE HOUSE FLAT 24 THURLOE PLACE LONDON SW7 2RU
3 bed 3 bath Flat
Spacious period flat with high-spec kitchen and two balconies, moments from museums.
Approximately 1,722 sq ft lateral apartment with high ceilings
A grand, lateral apartment occupying approximately 1,722 sq ft on the second floor of Empire House, this elegant three-bedroom home pairs Edwardian character with high-spec contemporary fittings. High ceilings, ornate cornicing, Versailles parquet and Boffi kitchen appliances create a refined, entertaining-led layout with two private balconies and excellent natural light. Lift and porter/concierge service add convenience in a central South Kensington location.
The principal suite is generous and served by a luxurious en suite; two further double bedrooms and two additional bathrooms make the apartment well suited to family living or professional sharers. Modern systems include Lutron lighting, Sonos throughout, double-glazed windows and a mains gas boiler with radiators, providing comfort and convenience.
Buyers should factor running costs and local context into their decision. The service charge is very high at £28,000 per annum and council tax is described as very expensive. The building is solid brick with assumed no added wall insulation and the property is leasehold with 114 years remaining. The immediate area records a very high crime rate—prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves on safety and security measures.
This is a substantial, turnkey central-London residence for those who prioritise location, period detail and generous internal volume. It suits families wanting nearby top schools, executives seeking easy access to South Kensington and Knightsbridge, or investors targeting high-end rental demand — provided the running costs match the buyer’s budget.
