3 bed Flat For Sale £2,100,000
Occupying the third and fourth floors at the front of the building, this south-east and south-west-facing duplex penthouse apartment enjoys extensive views over Vincent Square. The spacious sitting room/dining room leads from the reception hall and benefits from natural light on two sides with glazed doors leading to the terrace overlooking the mature trees and playing fields of Vincent Square.
The breakfasting kitchen is fully fitted and equipped with Siemens and Gaggenau appliances and also benefits from direct south-easterly sunlight and views of the greenery of the Square. A guest cloakroom and study or third bedroom are also situated on this floor.
The master bedroom, a second double bedroom and family bathroom all lead from the fourth floor landing, both bedrooms benefitting from feature windows with an open aspect facing south-west and overlooking the development's communal gardens. The main bedroom has a large ensuite shower room/WC and ample wardrobe and cupboard space.
Leasehold plus Share of Freehold. 983 years remaining on lease. Service Charge for 2021 - £10,260 (including a £2,160 contribution to the sinking fund)
Setting the scene
Vincent Square may not be well known to many Londoners but its unique qualities of peace and tranquillity are much appreciated by those lucky enough to be living there. Leaving behind the bustle of Vauxhall Bridge Road and Rochester Row, the mood changes as one enters the Square. The imposing presence of mature London plane trees helps slow the tempo around the 13 acres (5 hectares) of private playing fields. The well-tended cricket pitches and tennis courts, and lack of through traffic create a calmer atmosphere. The sound of willow striking leather on a summer afternoon reminds us that life - and English cricket - goes on regardless, wherever we are.
Originally part of the Rochester Row Police Station and Magistrate's Court and now known as Number 68, this building was completely re-constructed as a quality residential development less than 20 years ago. This development is now regarded as one of the most prestigious residential addresses in Westminster.
On being greeted by the Concierge in the spacious reception and visitors' lounge of 68 Vincent Square, the first impressions are of high standards and good order.
The only way to fully appreciate the privacy, tranquillity and seclusion of this delightful property is by arranging a personal viewing via the sole selling agents, Fine & Country Belgravia
Seller's Insight
“We have always appreciated our apartment at 68 Vincent Square as a place of quiet calm within the heart of Central London. We can look out over a huge green space yet still have easy access to the hustle and bustle of the West End within a few minutes walk.
Perfectly located within easy reach of Belgravia, Chelsea and Mayfair and nestled between London's best parks: St James Park, Hyde Park, Green Park and Battersea Park. Excellent local bars, cafes and restaurants and a choice of theatres and the multi-screen cinema, all of which are benefiting from Victoria's continuing development.
The flat has a relaxed feel and is a sanctuary in the heart of town. Underfloor heating gives a cosy feel in the winter months. The terrace and large windows make it light and airy in summer. The third bedroom makes an ideal home office.”
