Set opposite Battersea Park, this contemporary one-bedroom apartment sits within the Chelsea Bridge Wharf development and offers easy access to riverside walks, transport links and local amenities. The open-plan reception and kitchen create a bright, flexible living space, while a double bedroom and modern bathroom complete a compact, practical home suited to singles or couples.
Residents benefit from a 24-hour concierge, secure communal landscaped courtyard and the option of parking by separate negotiation. The lease is exceptionally long at 974 years, removing a common leasehold concern for buyers. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support home working, while the development’s modern build (2007–2011) and double glazing help keep maintenance needs low.
Important practical points: annual service charge is around £3,500 and ground rent is £250 per year. Heating is electric via room heaters rather than a communal gas system, which may lead to higher running costs. Council Tax is in Band E and local crime statistics are above average for the area — buyers should factor in security and insurance costs.
This flat is best for a first-time buyer or investor seeking a low-maintenance central London base with strong transport links and park-side position. The property is compact but efficiently planned; viewings will suit those prioritising location, concierge services and long lease security over large living areas.
