Kingsley Street, Battersea, SW11

This two bedroom flat on Kingsley Street in Battersea takes the third floor of a four-storey recent development, built in dark brick with large glazing. A frameless glass balustrade and steel-framed doors set the contemporary tone, and everything is on one level in 802 sq ft, with one bathroom and a single reception room. The finish is a developer's specification: crisp white plaster, grey-washed engineered oak, flush white doors fitted with chrome handles and a bright white and pale grey palette. It is let furnished and faces north-east. The rooms are generous through-spaces rather than a warren of small ones, and nothing about the layout asks a tenant to compromise on furniture.

Entrance hall 1.52m x 2.33m (5'0" x 7'8")

A short, square entrance hall, plain and bright, leads to the living room. It has no feature beyond clean white walls, and no clutter to manage, and the doors to the other rooms are flush and white.

Living room 3.66m x 4.91m (12'0" x 16'1")

High ceilings and a cream sofa on a pale grey rug give the living room its ease. A smoked glass coffee table and white blinds complete the furnishing, with downlights and one slim LED pendant above, and the fittings are simple and well chosen.

Kitchen 2.85m x 3.52m (9'4" x 11'7")

Handleless graphite cabinets and a white sintered-stone worktop make a clean, efficient kitchen, with a window over the sink for daylight. The room is long enough for a small table.

Principal bedroom 3.98m x 3.95m (13'1" x 13'0")

The larger of the two bedrooms is a regular, near-square room with space for a double bed and wardrobes along one wall. Mirrored doors on the wardrobes, if wanted, would bounce the light about the room, and the grey-washed oak floor continues from the hall.

Bedroom 2 3.37m x 3.70m (11'1" x 12'2")

Slightly narrower than its neighbour, Bedroom 2 still takes a double bed, and works equally well as a study.

Bathroom 1.92m x 2.58m (6'4" x 8'6")

The bathroom has a freestanding bath, a luxury in a flat of this size, set in white and pale grey.

No outdoor space comes with the flat itself. The building has an allocated off-street parking space for a car. The layout is entirely lateral, with every room reached from a single level, and the flat is let furnished.

Battersea Park is a 200-acre green space opened in 1858 and home to the London Peace Pagoda, and Queenstown Road and Battersea Park are both railway stations in the area. The Northern line extension to Battersea's power station opened in September 2021. Sir Giles Gilbert Scott designed that landmark, and its construction began in 1929, with the district's identity changing ever since.
