A well-presented three bedroom apartment situated on the lower ground floor of a handsome red brick Victorian mansion block, positioned in the vibrant heart of South Kensington SW7. This is an exciting opportunity to secure an exceptional property with a resident caretaker in the building.

Upon entering the apartment, a welcoming hallway leads through to an impressive bay-fronted reception room. This space is characterised by a remarkable ceiling height of just over 3 metres, creating a sense of grandeur. Additionally, the room benefits from a period fireplace, wooden flooring, and convenient built-in cupboards and shelves. There is a separate, well-appointed kitchen adjacent to the reception room, featuring integrated appliances, a gas hob and ample cabinetry/worktop space.

The principal bedroom is discreetly positioned towards the rear of the apartment and is served by extensive wardrobe storage and wide sash bay windows. There is a further double bedroom with abundant storage to the rear and a third bedroom, which is currently used as a study, between the other two bedrooms. Additionally, a family bathroom is accessible via the hallway, including a bath and a separate shower.

The mansion block, comprising only 8 flats, is well maintained throughout by the resident caretaker. This excellent apartment is well-arranged, over 1,053 sq ft, benefitting from an abundance of storage and high ceilings throughout. The property also has a share of the freehold with an underlying long lease, with approximately 112 years remaining.


Cranley Mansion is arguably the most attractive mansion block in South Kensington. Being one of the few mansion blocks in the heart of the area, this is a rare and highly sought-after building. Cranley Mansion is ideally located within walking distance of the world class shopping, restaurants, hotels, museums and parks that the area has to offer.

Places of interest

    One of the capital's heavyweight cultural and education hubs, affluent South Kensington, affectionately known as 'South Ken', is also unsurprisingly one of the central London's most desirable residential areas bordering the glossy postcodes of Knightsbridge, Kensington, Fulham and the green fringes of Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens. Perhaps best known for its world-class museums clustered within a small square footage of SW7, the area brags the Victoria and Albert Museum (the V&A), the Natural History Museum and the Science Museum. Within striking distance are leading universities including Imperial and LSE. As such, attraction-heavy South Kensington gets busy. But away from the visitors, in green pockets of this historic district, sit some of the capital’s finest properties tucked away on quiet, leafy streets, curling around private garden squares and lining roads behind London’s iconic museums and top education facilities. From our offices on Old Brompton Road, each year we help buyers from across the globe make SW7 their home, securing some of the area’s best properties – from large, European-style apartments in red brick mansion blocks to grand family homes and freshly launched new developments.

Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted

    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
