Egerton Gardens

Red brick and Dutch gables rather than stucco, on the Knightsbridge side of SW7 and priced with one eye on SW3. The flats are generously laid out, many with high first-floor drawing rooms, and the street is quiet despite being minutes from Brompton Road. A reliable address with a consistently deep buyer pool.
