Summary - Flat 4, 169 Battersea Park Road SW8 4BT
2 bed 1 bath Duplex
Top-floor split-level home with 20ft south terrace — ideal first-time buyers seeking light and outdoor space.
20-foot south-facing private terrace, rare for SW8 flats
Top-floor, loft-style duplex arranged over two bright levels, finished with period features and a generous 20-foot south-facing private terrace — rare for this price in SW8. The open-plan living and kitchen space benefits from high ceilings, sash windows and solid wood floors, creating an airy, versatile reception that flows directly to the terrace.
A spiral staircase leads to a mezzanine bedroom with Velux skylights; the flexible layout currently offers two usable bedrooms or one-bedroom-plus-study, depending on your needs. Practical details suit a first-time buyer: no onward chain, affordable council tax (Band C), low service charge (£109pcm) and 93 years remaining on the lease.
Be clear on the negatives: the flat is leasehold, with a small ground rent (£200) and below-average broadband speeds. The building is solid-brick Victorian with assumed no wall insulation and fitted secondary glazing — further insulation or heating upgrades could improve comfort and running costs. The immediate area records above-average crime statistics and some local deprivation, though transport links and nearby Battersea Power Station amenities are strong.
Overall this is a characterful, light-filled apartment offering immediate move-in potential and scope to modernise selectively. It will suit first-time buyers seeking outdoor space and central connections, or buy-to-let investors aware of the lease and local area considerations.
