42 Arden Mansions,31 Sleaford Street,LONDON,SW8 5EZ
SW8 5EZ
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Modern 1-bed with balcony, concierge and long lease near Battersea Power Station.
South-facing balcony and floor-to-ceiling windows, abundant natural light
Bright, modern and well-connected, this one-bedroom apartment on the 7th floor of Arden Mansions offers a practical city base with a south-facing balcony and floor-to-ceiling glazing that floods the living space with light. At 581 sq ft the layout is compact but efficiently arranged, suited to a single occupant or couple who value easy access to Battersea’s shops, restaurants and transport links.
Residents benefit from a full-time concierge, business suite and on-site cinema plus communal outdoor space — amenities that add convenience and lifestyle appeal. The long lease (987 years) removes typical leasehold timing concerns, and low local crime with excellent mobile and broadband makes the flat a straightforward urban home or rental opportunity.
Notable downsides are the relatively high annual service charge (around £2,964) and a compact bedroom scale, which may limit storage and furniture options. The wider area is classed as very deprived despite being an inner-city cosmopolitan neighbourhood; prospective buyers should view in person to judge local feel and transport connections for themselves.
Overall, this apartment suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking a turnkey, high-spec modern home near Battersea Power Station, offering strong amenity support and long lease security, while accepting service charges and compact room sizes as part of central London living.
