Set on the first floor of a handsome red-brick mansion building, this beautifully refurbished two-bedroom apartment enjoys open south-westerly views across the communal gardens of Evelyn Gardens. The corner position brings exceptional light, while generous ceiling heights and deep bay windows give the principal rooms a sense of volume rarely found in lateral apartments of this scale. The drawing room is the heart of the home, an elegant space with highly polished floors, a gas fireplace and a broad bay that frames leafy garden views. There is ample room for both seating and dining, making it equally suited to quiet evenings or larger gatherings. A sleek galley kitchen sits adjacent, finished with contemporary cabinetry and clean stone surfaces, its efficient layout designed for everyday ease. The principal bedroom is a well-proportioned room with extensive fitted storage and use of a beautifully appointed bathroom. The second bedroom opens onto a good-sized private balcony, a rare and welcome addition that offers a peaceful spot for morning coffee. A further bathroom serves this room and guests. The apartment has been fully upgraded by the current owner, combining modern comfort with the proportions and character of the original building. The property is held with a share of freehold. Evelyn Gardens is one of South Kensington's most refined garden squares, positioned between the cafes of Fulham Road and the museums and boutiques of South Kensington. Gloucester Road and South Kensington stations are both within easy reach, while the neighbourhood's independent delis, long-established restaurants and quiet residential streets give the area its enduring appeal. The communal gardens, beautifully kept and rarely busy, provide a private green retreat in the centre of the city.
