This exceptional detached house sits on the doorstep of Battersea Park on Prince of Wales Drive. The six-bedroom property combines volume, light and a sense of privacy that is not often found in this part of London. The house unfolds across multiple levels, well suited to both family life and entertaining. At raised-ground level, the principal double reception room runs the length of the property with a period bay window, while a separate study sits to the rear. High ceilings, original detailing and a fireplace give the room a strong sense of proportion, and its slightly elevated position from the street adds a welcome degree of separation. The lower-ground floor has been arranged as the main living space, centred around an expansive kitchen, dining and family room. This is a room designed for everyday life, with a large central island, generous storage and ample space for both cooking and entertaining. Glazing opens directly onto a wide terrace and the garden beyond. There is also a utility room and additional storage. Upstairs, the bedroom accommodation is arranged across the first, second and mezzanine floors. The principal bedroom occupies a generous footprint, with built-in storage and a large adjoining bathroom. Additional bedrooms are well proportioned, many with good ceiling height and natural light, and are served by a series of family bathrooms. The upper levels offer flexibility, whether for guest accommodation, children’s rooms or more private working spaces. To the rear, the garden is notably wide and unusually private for the area, with a combination of terrace and gravelled space framed by mature planting. Off-street parking sits behind secure gates, a significant advantage on this stretch of road, perfect for bicycles, prams or walking the dog. Prince of Wales Drive runs along the edge of Battersea Park, one of London’s most celebrated green spaces, with its lake, the renowned Pear Tree Café, tennis and padel courts, and long walking routes just moments from the front door. Battersea Power Station is nearby as one of London’s most iconic landmarks, with an excellent selection of bars, restaurants and shops. Battersea is well known for its mix of outstanding independent and state schools. Chelsea is a short walk across the river, while the King’s Road and Sloane Square offer a well-established mix of restaurants, boutiques and transport connections. It is a setting that feels both connected and calm, with the park acting as a constant backdrop to daily life. There is potential to extend the kitchen to the rear, subject to planning permission and the necessary consents.
