Top quality apartment in prime Knightsbridge location - definitely one for the connoisseur - sleeps 2.  Map

Featured in the USA Today as one of the finest private accommodations available in London, this stunning apartment combines a wonderful location with furnishings of the highest quality. It is situated in the heart of Knightsbridge in a quiet garden square, within 5 minutes walk of Harrods (Knightsbridge tube station - Piccadilly line), with Hyde Park just a few minutes further. The owner, an interior designer, has furnished it beautifully with a mix of comfortable modern furniture and fine antiques.

The light and airy flat is on the first floor (no lift) of an imposing mid 19th century building. The large floor to ceiling windows of the drawing room overlook the gardens, one set opening out to a small plant terrace. This spacious room (22ft x 22ft, 6.7m x 6.7m) is beautifully presented. A comfortable sofa and 2 chairs in front of the fireplace (with working coal effect gas fire) form the main focus. This is supplemented with antique chairs and tables, a desk, numerous objets d'art, a fine gilt framed mirror and several large oil paintings - some are her ancestors! There are also the modern essentials - a TV with cable channels (including CNN) and a Bose radio/CD player with a selection of CDs, mainly classical music and opera.

The L shaped bedroom (16ft6 x 14ft9, 5m x 4.5m), again beautifully decorated and presented, has a comfortable 4ft6 bed and lots of storage space in the built in cupboards. There's a hairdryer and an iron. The en-suite modern bathroom has bath with over shower, basin and loo.

Next door is the dining room with dining table and 4 chairs, another fine mirror and a spectacular 18th century French chandelier.

The compact but fully functional kitchen has all the expected appliances including microwave, dishwasher and washer/dryer.

As if all this is not enough, you also have access to the well maintained private gardens with large London plane trees shading attractive lawns and borders.

The Private Gardens

It's no accident that this part of town, one of the most sought after places to live, boasts some of the best shops and restaurants in London. Fashionable Walton Street is just at the top of road (up-market shops and restaurants). Less than 3 minutes walk away is Beauchamp (pronounced Beecham) Place (fashion shops and more restaurants).

The Hyde Park, Sheraton Tower and Berkley hotels, all with renowned dining rooms, are all within a 15 minute walk on Knightsbridge walking towards Hyde Park Corner. Even closer on Cadogan Place, try the Rib Room and Oyster Bar at the Carlton Tower Hotel which mixes cool sophistication with English tradition.

This is a No Smoking property.
