Previously two properties amalgamated into one, and ideally positioned in this magnificent end of terrace building of unusually lofty proportions, the property feels impressively spacious and elegant. Recently renovated, with interiors blending classical and contemporary design, it is presented in immaculate condition. Finally, the rooms at the rear of the property enjoy picturesque views over Pont Street Mews and towards Harrods.

The flat is part of a magnificent red-brick townhouse with decorative Dutch gables built in the 1880s. This style, which was copied throughout Kensington and Chelsea, became known as ‘Pont Street Dutch.’ It includes a south-facing balcony with enough space for outdoor seating.

Pont Street is a prestigious address on the border of Knightsbridge and Belgravia. It was once home to the actress and socialite Lillie Langtry, and is also the setting of the celebrated Cadogan Hotel, where Oscar Wilde was arrested.

From here, the many restaurants, shops and underground station of Knightsbridge are within easy reach. In addition, the opens spaces of Hyde Park are a short walk away.
