Set on the fifth floor of a purpose-built block in SW11, this light two-bedroom flat offers practical city living with a south-west facing balcony and open living space. The property suits buy-to-let investors and first-time buyers seeking a well-connected Battersea base close to green space and riverside amenities. Broadband and mobile signals are strong, and council tax is described as affordable.
Practical considerations are clear: the property is leasehold with around 92 years remaining, so buyers should factor lease length into mortgage or investment calculations. The block dates from the late 1960s–1970s and external walls are cavity-built with assumed no added insulation, which means future buyers may want to consider energy-improvement costs. Crime levels in the immediate area are above average, so security and travel routes should be reviewed.
Transport and local life are strong selling points. The flat is within walking distance of Battersea Park, the River Thames and frequent bus routes along Battersea Bridge Road; Clapham Junction and the King’s Road are also easily reached. Nearby schools range from good-rated state primaries to notable independent options, enhancing appeal to a range of buyers.
Overall this is a straightforward, well-located apartment offering immediate rental or owner-occupier potential. It will suit someone looking for a practical, centrally placed home or a buy-to-let with easy access to central London — while remaining realistic about lease status, possible retrofit costs and local crime statistics.
