This well-proportioned one-bedroom flat occupies a desirable address between Knightsbridge and South Kensington, offering grand Victorian proportions and direct access to well-kept communal gardens. The reception room is a standout: 3.5m high decorative ceilings, a large bay with sash windows and French doors create excellent natural light and a formal entertaining space. The apartment feels larger than many central one-beds thanks to generous reception space and efficient layout with built-in storage.
Practical positives include mains gas heating via boiler and radiators, double glazing (installed before 2002) and fast broadband/mobile connectivity. The location places Harrods, local boutiques and excellent schools within easy reach, making it suitable for a professional single buyer or couple seeking a central, characterful apartment with outdoor access.
Buyers should note several material drawbacks. The lease shows only 80 years remaining — some mortgage lenders may refuse to lend without lease extension, which will affect affordability and resale. Service charges are extremely high (£57,936), and local council tax is described as quite expensive. The building is solid-brick with assumed no cavity insulation, so energy performance may be poor and refurbishment work could be required.
Other practical considerations: the area records very high crime levels (local statistic), and while the flat is in an affluent inner-city area, purchasers should factor potential security and insurance implications. Interested parties must verify all services and measurements independently; the property is being offered without tested appliances, fixtures or guarantees.
