Five of the best: Compact living

Living on a small scale in Central London

 

Space is at a premium in Central London, so here we share five of the best one bedroom apartments currently on the market. Prices range from £725,000 to an astounding £6,950,000.

 

B.03.3, One Hyde Park, Knightsbridge, SW1X – £6,950,000

One Hyde Park reception room 550 One Hyde Park plan 550The highest priced apartment in this Candy & Candy landmark building sold for £136,000,000 so naturally even what agents Strutt & Parker described as a “the ultimate London pied-a-terre” was bound to be expensive. 989 square foot in size, there is a 26ft by 12ft reception room with a champagne bar, an 18ft by 10ft bedroom and even a car parking space. The service charge for the apartment is a not so insignificant £16,750 per annum but for that you get access to a 60 man Mandarin Oriental concierge team, a private spa and swimming pool, a squash court, an entertaining suite with spaces for canapé receptions for 100 guests and a private screening room with seating for 18 guests.

 

Cranley Gardens, South Kensington, SW7 – £725,000

Cranley Gardens 1Cranley Gardens 2Converting a single high ceilinged room into a one bedroom flat wouldn’t normally work but the transformation of this 453 square foot ground floor apartment has produced spectacular results. As well as a bright 15ft by 13ft sitting room, there is a mezzanine kitchen with a dining area, a small internal double bedroom and what agents Marsh & Parsons call a “stylish” shower room.

 

Upper Grosvenor Street, Mayfair, W1 – £6,000,000

For the dandy, there is a dressing room kitted out with burr walnut fittings and if you’re a studious sort, there’s a compact study/library.

 

Queen’s Gate Mews, South Kensington, SW7 – £775,000

Queen's Gate Mews 550With a private entrance and 732 square foot of accommodation, this lower ground floor flat is surprisingly light.
