Occupying the first floor of Rutland Court, a handsome red-brick mansion block on the private Rutland Gardens, this four-bedroom home combines scale, light and timeless design.





The double reception room sets the tone. High ceilings and tall sash windows bring a sense of volume, while original detailing gives texture and warmth. The adjoining kitchen is simple and well thought out, and includes minimal cabinetry, generous workspace and space for casual dining.





Four bedrooms are arranged for privacy, each with fitted wardrobes and its own bathroom. The principal suite is an indulgent space, with a walk-in wardrobe and marble-lined bathroom. A study, balcony and guest cloakroom complete the layout.





Rutland Court itself is an archetypal red-brick and Portland stone Edwardian mansion block, designed by architect Melissa Joseph and completed in 1903. Set on one of London’s few private roads, it’s known for its sense of discretion. Residents benefit from 24-hour concierge, porterage, lift access and well-kept communal gardens within this secure, gated setting.





The apartment is directly opposite Hyde Park and in the heart of Knightsbridge. Harrods, Harvey Nichols and the museums of South Kensington are all a short walk away, along with the restaurants and boutiques that make this part of London so distinctive.
