Set on one of Battersea’s most sought-after streets, this substantial Victorian semi offers 2,086 sq ft of flexible family accommodation across four floors. The house blends original detail — high ceilings, bay windows and three working fireplaces — with a generous open-plan kitchen/living area on the lower ground that opens directly onto a secluded rear garden. The layout suits entertaining and everyday family life, with separate formal reception, a study and a utility room for practical living.
Three double bedrooms on the first floor all have built-in wardrobes and share a well-appointed family bathroom; a fourth bedroom sits on the top floor as a guest suite or home office. Natural light fills the rooms through large windows; many period features have been retained while the house feels recently refreshed in parts. The property is Freehold and located within easy walking distance of Battersea Park and strong transport links including Battersea Power Station and Clapham Junction.
Buyers should note a few practical points: the EPC is rated D and the property’s solid brick walls are assumed to have no cavity insulation, so heating costs may be higher than modern-built homes. Council tax is described as quite expensive and the local area records higher-than-average crime levels. The plot is relatively small for central Battersea, and while the house is presented well, there remains scope for further modernisation or energy efficiency upgrades to suit an incoming owner’s preferences.
This home will appeal to families seeking space, period character and outdoor privacy close to Battersea Park’s amenities, or buyers wanting a central London residence with strong rental or long-term value potential. Its combination of entertaining rooms, study and garden makes it a practical and characterful base in a well-connected, amenity-rich neighbourhood.
