A bright, well-presented two-bedroom apartment in a handsome early 20th-century mansion block, positioned close to Battersea Park and local transport hubs. The flat keeps many period features — high ceilings, original fireplaces and sash windows — paired with a modern kitchen and bathroom, creating a comfortable, characterful home in a highly desirable SW11 location.
At 856 sq ft the apartment feels generously proportioned for its type: two double bedrooms, a spacious reception with large windows and plenty of natural light. The location is a major draw — easy walking distance to Battersea Park, Queenstown Road and Battersea Park stations, river taxi access, and the shops and restaurants of Chelsea and the King's Road. Recent local regeneration around Battersea Power Station and the new Northern Line station adds long-term convenience and appeal.
Practical points to note: the property is leasehold with 143 years remaining and an above-average service charge of £4,500 per year; council tax is also above average. The building’s solid brick construction means limited cavity insulation (original construction), and glazing type isn’t defined — both are factors to consider for running costs and comfort. The apartment is on the fourth floor (top) so check access and communal lift arrangements if mobility is a concern.
This flat suits buyers seeking a characterful central-London home with scope to enjoy excellent local amenities and transport links. It will also attract buyers looking for a low-flood-risk, well-located two-bedroom in an affluent, inner-city neighbourhood — though budget for the service charge and possible upgrades to insulation or windows if lower running costs are important.
