An expansive five‑bedroom lateral apartment occupying an upper floor of a grand Edwardian mansion block in the heart of Knightsbridge. At about 2,432 sqft the apartment offers generous reception space, high ceilings and large windows that deliver bright, flexible rooms ideal for entertaining and family living. The building provides a lift and resident porter, and the flat benefits from a very long lease (982 years) and double glazing installed after 2002.
The location is a primary draw: quiet Basil Street sits steps from Harrods, Sloane Street boutiques, Michelin‑starred restaurants and a wide range of local amenities. Good independent schools are nearby, making this a strong option for families who want a central, address‑led London home with substantial internal space.
Buyers should note material practical points: the property is leasehold, council tax is described as very expensive, and heating is via a community mains‑gas scheme. Construction is solid brick with assumed lack of wall insulation, which may mean future work to improve thermal efficiency. Local crime statistics are reported as very high, which some buyers will want to investigate further.
This apartment suits purchasers seeking a large, characterful Knightsbridge home with entertaining rooms and concierge‑style service, while accepting the costs and responsibilities associated with a central London leasehold residence.
