2 bed flat for sale

Cliveden Place, London SW1W

With an abundance of natural light thanks to its south-facing aspect, this fantastically bright upper floor flat offers rare far-reaching views through the terraces of Belgravia across to the soaring chimneys of Battersea Power Station. The property’s duplex layout consists of an open reception/kitchen setup on the lower floor with two bedrooms above, as well as two full bathrooms cleverly sat between the levels. The orientation and abundance of wall space make the property an outstanding candidate for both entertaining guests and presenting artwork, with the current owner opting to use the lower floor as a large-format hosting/dining space for this purpose, making use of the brightest of the two bedrooms above as a further private sitting room.

Cliveden Place acts as a natural bridge between Chelsea and Belgravia, linking the bustle of Sloane Square to the grandeur of Eaton Square via a particularly wide terrace of late-Georgian townhouses. Its prime location allows residents excellent access to the amenities of both districts, being in close proximity to a wealth of world-class dining and shopping destinations, as well as some of the finest schools in the area.

The terraces of Cliveden Place were laid out by master builder Thomas Cubitt in the late 1830s, during the development of the Belgravia district. At this time, neighbouring Sloane Square was a semi-rural carriageway, and Eaton Square was only just finishing construction. Very few houses on the terrace have been altered visually since their construction, helping the address to have a very consistent and desirable late-Georgian look, but only a handful of houses remain in their original configuration, with the majority of the street now consisting of very well-located apartments to suit modern requirements.
