Summary - 147b Battersea Rise SW11 1HE
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Bright first-floor flat by Northcote Road with communal garden and good transport links.
Two double bedrooms in a Victorian conversion
This well-presented two-bedroom first-floor apartment occupies the handsome upper floors of a Victorian conversion on Battersea Rise, moments from Northcote Road and Clapham Junction Station. High ceilings and large windows create a bright living space; an open-plan reception with a modern fitted kitchen flows to double doors and a small balcony overlooking the large communal garden. The layout suits a couple, sharers or first-time buyers seeking period character with practical modern updates.
At roughly 505 sq ft the property is compact but efficiently arranged: two double bedrooms, generous built-in storage and a family bathroom. Double glazing (installed post-2002) and an EPC rating of C help with energy performance, but main heating and hot water are electric with radiators, so running costs should be considered. The building is solid-brick Victorian construction and likely has little cavity insulation — there is scope to improve thermal efficiency subject to building consents.
Tenure is share of freehold, which can offer more control than a leasehold but also brings collective management responsibilities; prospective buyers should review the freehold arrangements and any communal service obligations. The apartment’s first-floor position means stairs to access; there is no lift. Council tax is described as affordable and there is no flooding risk.
Location is a key strength: swift access to Clapham Junction rail services, a lively Northcote Road with shops, cafés and amenities, and several well-regarded local schools. The large communal garden is a valuable urban outdoor space. For buyers seeking period charm close to transport links and local life, this apartment offers a practical, characterful base with clear potential to personalise and improve energy performance.
