Light-filled two-bedroom apartment moments from Battersea Park, suited to first-time buyers and buy-to-let investors. The reception is generous for the footprint and opens onto a private balcony that overlooks mature trees, giving a leafy, relaxed feel despite the central location. Two double bedrooms with built-in storage and a separate kitchen keep living and sleeping space distinct.
Practical details are straightforward: the flat extends to about 655 sq ft, is leasehold with 184 years remaining, and uses mains gas central heating. Service charge is £1,697 (average) and council tax is described as affordable. Plumbing, heating and double glazing are in place, but install dates for windows are unknown.
Value upside comes from location and scope to add value: updating the kitchen and bathroom and decluttering will modernise the apartment and increase rental or resale appeal. There is no private garden but excellent transport links — Battersea Power Station, Queenstown Road and Battersea Park stations are all short walks away — and Battersea Park itself is immediately accessible.
Be aware of a few practical constraints: the property is a flat in a mid-rise block (no garden), walls are likely uninsulated cavity construction, and some cosmetic or systems upgrades may be needed to maximise long-term performance. Crime levels are average and flood risk is very low.
