Lateral flat in a historic with porter and communal gardens close to the Fulham Road

Stepping into the flat on the first floor, the entrance hall opens onto a generous reception room. As well as a wide bay window, double French doors lead out through to a south-west facing balcony. Next door is a fitted kitchen, with a dining room beyond.

The other side of the flat includes a well-proportioned principal bedroom with inbuilt wardrobe space, its own access to the balcony and a bathroom with a bath next door. There are two more bedrooms and two more bathrooms – one of them ensuite – as well as a utility room.

The interiors are decorated in a colourful fashion, mixing traditional and contemporary details, and presented in good condition. Gothic doorways, moulded door surrounds and wooden floors all add to the sense of elegance.

Rose Square occupies the former Brompton Hospital, a beautiful building dating back to 1844. It was redeveloped in 1997 and now offers a porter, a swimming pool, a gym and underground parking. The building’s entrance hall is especially impressive, along with the well-maintained gardens open to residents.

Rose Square lies on the Fulham Road, within easy reach of the restaurants and shops of Chelsea. South Kensington underground station is close, along with the neighbourhood’s many world-class museums and cultural facilities.
