Compact, well-presented flat with parking and long lease near Clapham Junction.
Top-floor one-bedroom flat with Juliet balcony
A well-presented top-floor one-bedroom flat in Battersea Heights, ideal for a first-time buyer seeking a compact central London home. The flat benefits from a share of freehold with a long 999-year lease, double glazing, mains gas central heating and an off-street parking space — rare for the area. Rooms are well proportioned for the size, with a separate kitchen and both kitchen and bathroom featuring windows.
The bedroom sits to the rear and opens onto a Juliet balcony; built-in wardrobes add useful storage. At 436 sq ft the apartment is small but efficiently laid out, suited to a single purchaser or couple. The block dates from the 1980s and is a purpose-built block of nine flats, presented in good order but without lofty period features.
Practical costs and local factors to note: service charges are circa £1,000 per year and council tax is Band C (affordable). Crime levels in the immediate area are above average — worth bearing in mind when comparing neighbourhoods. Transport links are a strong asset, with Clapham Junction, Lavender Hill and local buses close by, plus easy access to green spaces like Battersea Park and Clapham Common.
Overall this is a compact, convenient London apartment that offers secure tenure, parking and straightforward living close to major transport and local amenities. It will suit someone prioritising location, low-maintenance living and long lease security, while accepting the modest internal floor area and local crime statistic.
