Luxury in Knightsbridge
If you thought that being able to find a luxury penthouse in Knightsbridge was a thing of the past, you may be pleased to know that you can reconsider.
The property
Sherwoods have recently announced the availability of a superbly equipped and high-quality penthouse in Basil Street, Knightsbridge, London SW3.
Built above a portered mansion block, the penthouse was constructed in the early 21st century and as a result, benefits from all modern construction and insulation techniques. That includes under-floor heating and comfort cooling.
The penthouse has three bedrooms and three bathrooms plus a roof terrace providing spectacular views over the rooftops of London. The principal suite bedroom also has an integral dressing room.
Entry to the property is via a secure and dedicated lift directly to the penthouse suite with an added bonus being the designated underground parking nearby.
The large and spacious reception room and fully-equipped ultra-modern kitchen are both extremely well lit by natural light and also have sweeping views.
Being just a stone’s throw from Harrods and close to all the other legendary attractions of London’s West End, this property stands out prominently as being a very rare opportunity.
