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.

Annunciata grew up in the wilds of Lancashire and now lives in Hampshire with a husband, two daughters and an awful pug called Parsley. She’s been floating round the Country Life office for more than a decade, her work winning the Property Magazine of the Year Award in 2022 (Property Press Awards). Before that, she had a two-year stint writing ‘all kinds of fiction’ for The Sunday Times Travel Magazine, worked in internal comms for Country Life’s publisher (which has had many names in recent years but was then called IPC Media), and spent another year researching for a historical biographer, whose then primary focus was Graham Greene and John Henry Newman and whose filing system was a collection of wardrobes and chests of drawers filled with torn scraps of paper. During this time, she regularly gave tours of 17th-century Milton Manor, Oxfordshire, which may or may not have been designed by Inigo Jones, and co-founded a literary, art and music festival, at which Johnny Flynn headlined. When not writing and editing for Country Life, Annunciata is also a director of TIN MAN ART, a contemporary art gallery founded in 2021 by her husband, James Elwes.
