Occupying the fourth floor of one of Belgravia’s most discreet and well-run buildings, this lateral penthouse apartment unfolds across approximately 3,618 sq ft, with a rare sense of scale, symmetry and proportion. Entered directly via lift, the apartment feels more like a private house, with wide entrance halls, a sequence of distinguished entertaining rooms and a south-facing roof terrace set just off the principal suite.





The approach is immediately impressive. A long, elegant hallway introduces the apartment’s generous footprint and leads through to a series of beautifully proportioned reception spaces. At the heart of the plan is a striking principal reception room measuring more than 20 feet by 20 feet, with a period fireplace, tall windows and the kind of volume that allows the room to feel both formal and inviting. Adjoining it is a separate study, ideal as a private office, reading room or occasional third sleeping space.





Beyond sits one of the apartment’s most memorable rooms: a beautiful panelled library or anteroom set beneath a domed skylight. From here, the plan opens into the formal dining room, creating a wonderfully theatrical progression for entertaining, while still allowing each room to retain its own identity. It is an arrangement that feels distinctly old-world in the best sense, giving the apartment both character and occasion.





The kitchen is positioned separately from the entertaining rooms and is fitted with bespoke built-in hardwood joinery, with a utility room tucked alongside. Practical, it is well planned for day-to-day use and could be updated further to suit a new owner’s tastes.





The principal bedroom suite occupies the south-east corner of the apartment and is particularly impressive in scale, with extensive fitted storage and a large ensuite bathroom. Just beyond lies the south-facing roof terrace, a rare addition in this building and a lovely counterpart to the apartment’s formal interiors. The second bedroom suite is also generously proportioned and well arranged for guests, while two further cloakrooms add to the sense of practicality.





While the apartment would now benefit from cosmetic upgrading, its proportions, direct lift access, private terrace and position within this highly exclusive Grade II listed building make it an exceptionally unusual Belgravia offering. Residents benefit from a well-established porter team, strong on-site management and 24-hour security, all within a boutique freehold estate known for its discretion and immaculate upkeep.





Chesham Place remains one of Belgravia’s most quietly desirable addresses, moments from the boutiques and restaurants of Elizabeth Street, Motcombe Street and Pavilion Road. Sloane Square, Knightsbridge and Hyde Park are all within easy reach, giving the apartment a rare combination of privacy, polish and immediate access to some of central London’s best shops, hotels and dining spots.
