Set on Eaton Square, this lateral third-floor apartment occupies approximately 1,355 sq ft and delivers classic Regency proportions, high ceilings and direct views across the communal gardens. Large sash windows and generous rooms create an elegant, light-filled living space that will appeal to buyers seeking period character in Prime Central London.
Practical positives include lift access, a Porter, and communal garden rights; the apartment is well located for Sloane Square, Knightsbridge and the Kings Road with excellent public transport and local amenities. The flat requires updating, which offers an opportunity to reconfigure and modernise finishes to suit personal taste or maximise rental value.
Important drawbacks are material: the flat has only about 25 years remaining on the lease — lenders may refuse to lend — and the ground rent is very high at £6,800. Council tax is described as very expensive. Any purchase should factor in the likely cost and time of a lease extension (separate negotiation with the freeholder) and the renovation works needed before occupation or re-letting.
