Hans Place, Knightsbridge, London, SW1X 0JY

Set within an elegant red-brick building on Hans Place, this is a compelling opportunity to acquire three separate apartments within one of Knightsbridge’s most established garden squares. Laid out as part of Henry Holland’s late 18th-century Hans Town development, the square retains a sense of order and proportion that still defines the area today, centred around its private, oval garden.

Arranged across the lower ground, first, second and third floors, the apartments offer both immediate flexibility and long-term potential, whether retained as three individual residences or considered as part of a more unified scheme, subject to the usual consents.

Apartment 2, on the first and second floors is a well-balanced duplex. The reception room spans the width of the building and opens onto a balcony overlooking the garden square. The proportions here are particularly strong, with a wonderful sense of volume and light. The kitchen is separate while upstairs, two bedrooms are arranged around a central landing, including a principal bedroom with a green outlook.

Apartment 3, an Upper Duplex arranged across the second and third floors, mirrors this sense of scale. A wide reception room opens onto a further balcony, again with southerly views across Pont Street, while the kitchen remains separate. The upper level is given over to three bedrooms, including a principal suite and two additional rooms that lend themselves equally well to guest accommodation, study or dressing space.

The lower ground floor is configured as a generous one-bedroom apartment, where a wide dining and reception room forms the centre of the plan. The footprint allows for clearly defined seating and dining areas without compromising flow. A separate kitchen sits just off the main space, while the bedroom is positioned alongside a bathroom.

Across the three apartments, the configuration lends itself to a number of approaches, from multi-generational living to staff accommodation or long-term investment.

Residents benefit from access to the private Hans Place garden, a Grade II-listed space that has remained largely unchanged since its original layout. The oval lawn is enclosed by mature planting and iron railings, with London plane trees and established shrubs creating a sense of seclusion that feels removed from the surrounding streets.

Hans Place sits just behind Harrods and is one of Knightsbridge’s best-known addresses while remaining removed from the intensity of Brompton Road. The boutiques of Sloane Street, the restaurants of Pavilion Road and Hyde Park are all within easy walking distance, making this a particularly well-positioned base in central London.
