set just behind the bustle of brompton road, this handsome corner house on walton place unfolds over five generous levels, offering bright, lateral rooms, wonderful ceiling heights and far-reaching views towards harrods, and on one of knightsbridge’s most discreet residential streets.
the ground floor is arranged as a pair of welcoming reception rooms. soft natural light filters through tall sash windows, while the sightline runs all the way through to the garden, giving the house a sense of width that is unusual for the area. there is excellent wall space for art, bespoke joinery in the main reception, and a quiet study tucked neatly to one side.
below, the lower ground floor has been thoughtfully reworked to create a highly practical level with a dining space, and a further reception room which can easily serve as a playroom, gym or informal living area. storage is excellent throughout and there is direct access to the patio. a vault offers further usability, whether as wine storage or traditional household utility.
the principal bedroom spans the full width of the house on the first floor with french doors onto a balcony. a large dressing room sits adjacent, together with an ensuite finished in polished stone; a study lies at the back of this level. two further bedroom levels sit above: a generous second bedroom with its own bathroom on the second floor, followed by two additional bedrooms and a family bathroom on the third floor. each room is quietly positioned, with good light and fitted storage.
at the very top of the house is the roof terrace, a private, open space overlooking the rooftops of knightsbridge, large enough for outdoor dining and planting. it is a rare feature in this pocket of sw3 and lends the house a sense of retreat despite its central address.
walton place is one of knightsbridge’s most coveted residential streets: peaceful, elegant and moments from everything. harrods sits at the end of the road, with walton street, beauchamp place and sloane street all within a short walk. hyde park is close by, as are leading schools including francis holland, hill house and garden house. it is the definition of knightsbridge living with absolute convenience, wrapped in a house that feels both generous and beautifully composed.
