This raised-ground-floor apartment occupies one of the prettiest buildings on Hans Crescent and is as luxurious as one would expect from a place mere moments from Harrods on one of Knightsbridge’s most sought-after streets.
Outside, the black and white Tudor- inspired top half of the building juxtaposes against the lower red brick exterior, creating a striking effect. Inside, however, is a much more neutral canvas — though no less striking. The property is currently on the market via Alexander Millett for £2.6 million.
It has two bedrooms and everything is of the highest quality, from the oak herringbone flooring and tall sash windows to the Italian marble bathrooms, Lutron lighting and Miele kitchen appliances.
The building has a resident caretaker and there are 113 years remaining on the lease.
6-8 Hans Crescent is currently on the market via Alexander Millett for £2.6 million — see more pictures, or enquire with the agent for further details.
