Lord Lovat

Apart from its great location near the Knightsbridge sights, Harrods is just around the corner, as well as the museums of South Kensington, this compact apartment is a home with charm and personality. Its mostly white palette gives an overall modern feel but there are also a few characterful period features such as the fireplace, crown mouldings, and your host's grandfather's art collection. The terrace is a great bonus and a rare feature for a period home. If the weather turns, there's also a heated conservatory with seating just off the bedroom.

Home truths:
* The home is on the second floor with no lift
* The terrace is above the neighbour's bedroom so no noise here at night-time please
* Please slide off your stilettos when entering the home as they might damage the wooden floors
* The kitchen lacks a cooker hood
