Summary - BELGRAVE COURT FLAT 31 ASCALON STREET LONDON SW8 4DJ
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Second-floor flat with secure parking, near Battersea Park and transport.
Bright open-plan reception with integrated kitchen and breakfast bar
This second-floor one-bedroom flat offers a bright, open-plan living space arranged around a contemporary integrated kitchen and breakfast bar. At about 484 sq ft, the apartment suits a first-time buyer or investor wanting a compact city base with secure off-street parking. The share of freehold and an exceptionally long lease (982 years) are strong tenure positives.
The location is a major selling point: moments from Battersea Power Station, Battersea Park and strong transport links, with shops, cafés and leisure amenities within easy reach. The accommodation benefits from large windows and wood flooring that enhance the feeling of light and space.
Buyers should note practical limitations: heating is electric room heaters (no central gas system) and broadband speeds in the area are reported very slow. Service charge and ground rent are significant—about £3,000 per year service charge plus £250 ground rent—so factor ongoing costs into affordability. The local area records high crime statistics and general deprivation indicators; viewings will help assess the immediate street environment.
Overall this property works well for someone prioritising location and convenience over low running costs. There is moderate potential for cosmetic improvement, but substantial refurbishment or heating upgrades would be required to change energy performance and reduce running costs.
