Characterful one-bedroom flat opposite Battersea Park — share of freehold, long lease.
West-facing living room with Battersea Park views and high ceilings
Set on the third floor of an attractive Edwardian mansion block, this one-bedroom flat faces Battersea Park and offers generous ceiling heights and period detail. The west-facing living room brings good afternoon light; the layout includes a double bedroom, galley kitchen, shower room and a separate guest cloakroom. At 562 sq ft, the flat feels roomy for a one-bedroom apartment and benefits from a large communal garden and direct park views.
Practical ownership is straightforward: share of freehold, a long lease (approx. 947 years) and low ground rent. The location is a standout — Prince of Wales Drive sits opposite 200 acres of Battersea Park, with Queenstown Road and Battersea Park stations, frequent buses to Sloane Square, local shops and new amenities at Battersea Power Station all within easy reach. Good primary and secondary schools are nearby.
Buyers should note some material issues: heating is electric room heaters and there is no insulation in the solid brick walls (as built), so upgrading heating and insulation would improve comfort and running costs. Service charge is relatively high at £4,708 pa. The flat is presented as average-sized and will suit someone seeking a period property with character who is willing to modernise certain elements.
This property will appeal to first-time buyers or couples seeking a distinctive central-home with strong transport links and park-side living. A bit of targeted refurbishment would add comfort and value while retaining the apartment’s original charm.
