Arranged across the second and third floors of a handsome period building, this exceptionally spacious apartment has grand proportions, excellent ceiling heights and a wonderfully broad principal living floor. The property extends to approximately 2,608 sq ft and has three bedrooms, three bathrooms and a separate study. A lift opens directly into the third floor, where the main reception room measures more than 26 ft by 23 ft. Tall sash windows bring in plenty of natural light, while a fireplace, cornicing and pale timber floors lend character to the space. Its generous proportions allow for several seating areas as well as a large dining table. The adjoining kitchen has recently been reconfigured by the current owners. Timber cabinetry is paired with pale worktops, integrated appliances and a substantial central island with bar seating. A utility area provides useful additional storage and workspace. Also on this floor is the principal bedroom, a large and private suite with extensive fitted storage and a separate dressing room. The adjoining bathroom is finished in marble and has a freestanding bath, walk-in shower and twin basins. A well-proportioned study completes the floor and could also serve as a library or private sitting room. The apartment’s two further double bedrooms are found on the second floor, reached by the internal staircase or lift. The larger bedroom has a fireplace, while a separate sitting area on this floor provides further space in which to relax. Two bathrooms and a laundry area complete this level, allowing guests or family members to have their own space away from the principal rooms. Originally two separate flats, the property now forms a substantial home, with air conditioning in the bedrooms, kitchen and drawing room. A porter is in attendance every weekday, while the building’s common parts have recently been refurbished. The property is offered with a share of freehold and approximately 996 years remaining on the lease. The annual service charge is £28,088 and is reviewed yearly, while the ground rent is a peppercorn. The apartment falls within council tax band H. Ennismore Gardens is one of Knightsbridge’s most sought-after addresses, close to Hyde Park and the shops, restaurants and cafés of Brompton Road. Residents have access to the private, restricted gardens from which the address takes its name. Harrods, the Royal Albert Hall and the museums of South Kensington are all nearby, while Knightsbridge and South Kensington Underground stations provide convenient connections across London.
