Thanks to its dual floor layout, this compact studio exudes a wonderful sense of space and a serene atmosphere with its location just a three-minute walk from Battersea Park. There's an understated feeling of luxury to this characterful home, with smart furnishings, a sleek kitchen and a wonderfully cosy mezzanine bedroom. We love the industrial touch here with the bare hanging bulbs and brick wall, as well as the skylight that allows you to fall asleep counting the stars (should you not wish to use the blackout blinds). When you’re not sitting pretty in your chic city pad, go out and explore the area. Cross Battersea Bridge or pretty pink Albert Bridge to discover Chelsea’s quaint streets and upscale shops (fifteen minutes away on foot) or visit the iconic Battersea Power Station (a twenty-minute walk away). With plenty of gastropubs and shops on your doorstep too, you’ve got everything you need for a comfortable, relaxing stay.
