2 bed flat for sale

Lowndes Square, London SW1X

With excellent scope for redevelopment, this wonderfully bright apartment boasting garden square views offers a rare opportunity for it's next owner to create an outstanding Knightsbridge home. Set up currently in a large format two-bedroom layout, and with potential to reconfigure the space into a three-bedroom floorplan subject to the usual permissions, the property has been almost entirely stripped out, with it's bathrooms and kitchen in need of full re-installation. Having been previously plumbed with air conditioning and with excellent dimensions throughout, the apartment has fantastic potential as a primary home or London base, and sits within one of the premier buildings on the square, offering excellent security and service via a 24-hour porterage.

Lowndes Square sits firmly in the heart of Knightsbridge. The address caters to a global clientele and allows convenient access to both Hyde Park and a world-renowned retail district, whilst remaining in close proximity to the neighbourhoods of Mayfair, Belgravia and Chelsea. Nearby options for schooling are among the finest in London, and a wealth of local restaurants and amenities allow residents to live an exceptionally refined lifestyle.

The square itself has evolved over time, having been originally laid out as characteristic white stucco townhouses by master builder Thomas Cubitt in the late 1830s, during the development of the Belgravia district. The rise of apartment-style living in the late Victorian period led to swathes of demolition and rebuilding, culminating in highly desirable purpose-built blocks suiting a modern lifestyle, shoulder to shoulder with original sections of stucco which still remain.
