This beautiful Battersea bolthole offers space and comfort in a convenient location, steps away from the open green areas of the park. On entry, you'll be greeted by a stunning and stylish home from home with a seamless blend of period features, elegant furniture and a cutting-edge kitchen. With multiple original sash windows, the open living space is flooded with natural light from all angles, flowing effortlessly from the comfortable seating area to the six-seater dining table and through to the elegant marble kitchen with a breakfast bar and direct access to the balcony. Generously sized bedrooms guarantee a great night's sleep, while the main room includes an en-suite shower room and plenty of storage space so you can unpack properly and settle right in. And there's always the family bathroom if you fancy a soak in the tub at the end of a long day. Within the nearby park, Pear Tree Cafe – a five-minute walk away – is an excellent spot for breakfast, secluded away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Meanwhile, Clapham Common and its lively high street, plus vibrant Brixton Market, are with a half-hour journey on public transport. If you'd like to catch a show... in London's glittering West End, the newly opened Northern Line can which you from Battersea Power Station to Leicester Square in under fifteen minutes.
