About
Description On the top floor of the handsome Basil Mansions building, this beautifully presented two-bedroom penthouse apartment offers 1,282 sq ft of lateral accommodation in one of Knightsbridge's most sought-after addresses.
Combining contemporary interiors with generous proportions, the apartment enjoys the rare benefit of lift access, air conditioning and concierge service, all moments from Harrods and Hyde Park.
The heart of the home is an impressive open-plan reception, dining and kitchen space extending over 23 ft in length.
Positioned beneath vaulted ceilings with skylights drawing in natural light throughout the day, the room feels bright and expansive.
Pale timber flooring runs underfoot, while the sleek contemporary kitchen is fitted with integrated appliances and extensive storage, creating a practical and sociable space for both everyday living and entertaining.
The principal bedroom occupies its own wing of the apartment, providing a strong sense of privacy.
Generously proportioned, it is complemented by a dedicated dressing room and a spacious ensuite bathroom.
A second double bedroom is positioned on the opposite side of the apartment and is served by a separate family bathroom finished in marble.
Throughout, the apartment has been thoughtfully designed with clean architectural lines, built-in storage and modern finishes.
Air conditioning ensures year-round comfort, while lift access and concierge services add an additional level of convenience.
