Perfect Pied-a-terre for Shopaholics
A 113 square foot studio flat opposite Harrods comes onto the market at just under £600,000, equivalent to roughly £5,300 per square foot.
Foxtons are marketing for sale a 113 square foot studio flat opposite Harrods for just short of £600,000 (that is approximately £5,300 per square foot). Foxtons describe the flat as "cleverly arranged" and "gorgeous". We agree.
But we wonder who would buy a flat like this? The flat would make an ideal pit stop for a busy shopper on Brompton Road, returning for a quick shower after a hard day's shop in Harrods, then on to the Oratory for a bite before a nap back at the flat.
Photos on the Foxtons website show a cleverly designed room with a wall-mounted TV and a mini kitchen area, including sink, microwave and hob. The kitchen can be hidden behind a sliding mirror.
The first-floor flat in Princes Court, Brompton Road, also boasts "clever" storage space and a "fully tiled" shower room according to the estate agent.
The photos were taken without one essential piece of furniture: the bed. There is only really one place to put a bed in the flat, as the floor plan shows. We would be very interested to see how the new owner eventually incorporates a bed into this space. Any ideas?
As far as we can see, the flat's one and only window faces inward (to a light well). What more do you want for £600,000?
We think it is more likely the flat will end up being rented. It is also being marketed by Foxtons for rent at £275 per week. When you consider the location, in a prestigious apartment block in prime central London, it is sure to rent fairly quickly.
