Set on the third floor of an impressive Grade II listed Victorian college conversion, this 567 sq ft one-bedroom apartment sits a short walk from Battersea Park. The open-plan living, dining and kitchen area is bright and contemporary, complemented by a large double bedroom with fitted wardrobes and plentiful built-in storage. Residents benefit from secure underground parking, a separate storage unit, concierge, communal gardens and a roof terrace.
The building is well maintained and offers strong transport links and local amenities. The lease extension is currently underway; when completed it will remove the ground rent and improve long-term value. Double glazing and modern finishes reduce immediate maintenance needs, making the home move-in ready for professionals or buyers seeking a central London base.
Buyers should note practical drawbacks: the flat is Grade II listed, which can restrict alterations and may complicate permissions and costs. The property currently attracts a high service charge and a very expensive ground rent (being addressed by the lease extension process). Council tax is above average and the local area records higher crime levels, factors to weigh for families and security-conscious purchasers.
This apartment suits someone looking for a characterful central home with private parking and concierge services, and who is comfortable with listed-building constraints while benefiting from the lease-extension upside.
