Brompton Square, London

An exceptional family house in the heart of Knightsbridge, with beautifully considered interiors, green outlooks and extensive outside space. Comprehensively refurbished throughout, considerable attention has been given to both the design and underlying infrastructure, creating a particularly well-balanced home with generous formal and informal living spaces. The interiors combine the character and proportions of the original house with a refined contemporary feel, while the landscaped south-west-facing garden and mature greenery to the front give the house a real sense of privacy and calm.

The ground floor is centred around a generous kitchen and dining room, with a large island and bespoke cabinetry. French doors open onto a terrace overlooking the garden, bringing in plenty of natural light and creating a strong connection with the outside space.

The first floor is principally given over to the formal reception room, an elegant space with excellent ceiling heights, a fireplace and two sets of French doors framing the mature trees of Brompton Square. An adjoining office provides a quieter, more intimate space, while a terrace to the rear overlooks the garden.

The principal bedroom occupies the second floor and enjoys an easterly aspect, with excellent morning light and views through the trees across Brompton Square. There is an en suite bathroom, with a separate dressing room on the half landing. Two further bedrooms and a bathroom occupy the third floor.

On the lower ground floor, a fourth bedroom with en suite bathroom is complemented by a guest WC, utility room and further reception room. This provides a more informal living space and opens directly onto the lower garden.

Outside, a series of terraces leads down to the landscaped south-west-facing garden. Established planting, integrated lighting and irrigation create a private setting, with the garden benefiting from particularly good afternoon and evening light. At the end of the garden, a substantial studio with high ceilings provides excellent additional space, suitable as a gym, studio, home office or further living area.

The refurbishment extends well beyond the visible finishes, with individual room temperature control, underfloor heating, remotely operated heating and hot water, CCTV, video entry and integrated security systems.

The combination of elegant interiors, generous formal and informal living spaces and exceptional outside space makes this a particularly complete family home in the heart of Knightsbridge.

Brompton Square is a distinguished and secluded garden square built between 1821 and 1835, enclosed by stucco-fronted Grade II listed houses reflecting its Regency-era origins.

Occupying approximately five acres, this handsome square features a 0.7 acre private garden, for exclusive use of the residents, with expansive lawns, mature shrubs, and a variety of London plane, lime, and beech trees.

The square sits equidistant from Knightsbridge and South Kensington and is close to the cultural landmarks of the Victoria & Albert, Natural History and Science Museums. Also nearby are the wide open spaces of Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park.

The world-famous Harrods and Harvey Nichols department stores are close by, as are the fashion boutiques and restaurants of Sloane Street, and prominent schools including the Lycée Français, Hill House, Knightsbridge School, and Glendower Preparatory.
