Summary - Flat 3, 17 Basil Street SW3 1BA
2 bed 2 bath Apartment
Light-filled two-bedroom with balcony near Hyde Park and top amenities.
Large 1,031 sq ft two-bedroom lateral apartment
Set over two floors in a handsome Knightsbridge block, this large two-bedroom apartment offers 1,031 sq ft of contemporary living with period charm. The south-facing reception room fills the space with light, while a separate dining room and fitted kitchen create a natural flow for everyday life and entertaining. One bedroom benefits from generous built-in storage; the other has an ensuite and direct access to a private balcony.
Practical strengths include a very long lease (927 years), double glazing installed after 2002, mains gas central heating and fast broadband and mobile connectivity. The location is a major draw: Knightsbridge station, top restaurants, department stores and the open spaces of Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens are all within easy walking distance.
Buyers should note the property is leasehold with a service charge of £4,550 per year (above average) and relatively high council tax. Crime levels are recorded as very high in the area, which may affect some purchasers’ preferences. The building dates from the mid-20th century and external walls are assumed to be solid brick with no insulation, which could influence running costs and future retrofit plans.
This apartment will suit purchasers prioritising central location, space and high-spec interiors — either a pied-à-terre, central family base or an investor targeting prime Knightsbridge demand. It offers immediate comfort with scope for targeted upgrades should a buyer wish to improve energy performance or personalise finishes.
