A bright, second-floor one-bedroom flat in Belgrave Court, just moments from Battersea Power Station and Battersea Park. The open-plan reception and integrated kitchen create an easy, contemporary living space for a single buyer or couple. The property includes one secure off-street parking space — a rare perk in the area.
Practical strengths include a very long lease (share of freehold), double glazing, and an average-sized layout of about 484 sq ft that feels comfortable rather than cramped. The modern bathroom and breakfast-bar kitchen are move-in ready, while hardwood-style floors and large windows keep rooms light.
Be clear on the trade-offs: heating is electric (room heaters), broadband speeds are listed as very slow, and the service charge of around £3,000pa is substantial for a one-bedroom. The area records higher crime and is classified as deprived, which some buyers will weigh against the excellent central location and transport links.
This flat suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking a well-located, low-maintenance central London home with strong long-lease security and parking. It also offers straightforward potential for small upgrades (heating, connectivity) to increase comfort and value.
