4 bed flat for sale

Old Brompton Road, London SW5

Set behind the handsome red-brick façade of Richmond Mansions, this beautifully proportioned apartment offers just over 2,000 square feet of calm, contemporary living on one of South Kensington’s most quietly convenient stretches of Old Brompton Road. Occupying a low floor within the building, the flat unfolds laterally, giving it a sense of space and ease more often found in a house than an apartment.

The principal reception room has a generous bay window draws in soft daylight and frames leafy street views beyond. It is a room designed for both entertaining and everyday living, with ample space for two full seating areas without ever feeling crowded. Next door, a separate dining room provides a more formal setting for dinners and gatherings, though its proportions also allow it to work just as well as a fourth bedroom or an additional reception, depending on how you choose to live.

At the heart of the home is the kitchen, a modern space designed to be used rather than hidden away. A central island anchors the room, creating a natural place for casual meals or guests to gather while you cook, while integrated appliances and clean-lined cabinetry keep everything feeling pared back and purposeful. There is enough room here for a proper dining table too, making it as social as it is practical.

The private accommodation is arranged along a broad central hallway, giving each bedroom a sense of separation and quiet. The principal bedroom has its own walk-in wardrobe and an ensuite bathroom finished in marble tones and fitted with underfloor heating. Two further double bedrooms lie alongside it, both well proportioned and served by a pair of beautifully finished family bathrooms, each with walk-in showers and contemporary fittings. The fourth bedroom, or second reception, sits closer to the front of the apartment, offering flexibility for guests, children or working from home.

Throughout the apartment, the finish is crisp and considered. Pale timber floors, soft grey walls and discreet lighting create a sense of continuity, allowing the rooms to flow naturally from one to the next. Storage has been thoughtfully incorporated, with cupboards lining the hallway and the walk-in wardrobe in the principal suite ensuring the apartment remains as practical as it is polished.

Richmond Mansions itself is one of the area’s most recognisable mansion blocks, with its warm red brickwork and well kept communal spaces giving it a reassuring sense of presence. From here, Earls Court station is just moments away for the Piccadilly and District lines, while West Brompton offers easy access to the Overground and National Rail. The cafés and shops of Old Brompton Road, the green open spaces of Normand Park and the elegant streets around The Boltons are all within easy reach, placing this quietly positioned apartment right in the middle of one of west London’s most established and liveable neighbourhoods.
