Light-filled one-bedroom flat on the 5th floor of a secure building with lift access and a private balcony. The separate reception room and integrated kitchen maximise usable space across an average-sized 459 sq ft layout, suited to a single occupant or couple.
Practical features include double glazing (install date unknown), mains gas boiler heating with radiators, and a remaining lease of 102 years. The building is managed with an average annual service charge of £1,530. Set moments from Battersea Park and local shops on Battersea Park Road, the location offers fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and a strong choice of nearby primary and secondary schools.
Buyers should note material drawbacks plainly: the property is in an area classified as deprived with above-average local crime levels. The flat is on the 5th floor — while a lift is present, higher-floor living may be less suitable for those with limited mobility. The building’s mid-20th century construction likely has solid brick walls with no added insulation, which may affect heating efficiency and future improvement costs.
This flat presents straightforward value for first-time buyers or investors seeking a well-located Battersea pied-à-terre with immediate rental or owner-occupier potential. It is best suited to purchasers prepared to accept urban living trade-offs and possible modernisation works to improve energy performance and personalise the interior.
