2 bed flat for sale

Lockington Road, London SW8

Set on the fifth floor of Foundry House, this two bedroom, two bathroom apartment extends to approximately 891 sq ft (82.75 sq m), with a further 78 sq ft (7.22 sq m) of enclosed sun room beyond. Owner occupied rather than let, it has been looked after accordingly, and its elevated position gives it a clear, open aspect over the recreation ground rather than towards neighbouring buildings. Foundry House forms part of Battersea Exchange, Taylor Wimpey's regeneration of the land between Queenstown Road and the railway viaducts, a scheme that stitched together a new primary school, shops, workspace and some 290 homes on the western fringe of Nine Elms.

The accommodation is arranged so that the living space runs the full depth of the apartment, an expansive kitchen, reception and dining room with generous ceiling heights and glazing on two sides. The kitchen occupies one end with a run of cabinetry and a sink positioned beneath the window, leaving ample room for both dining and lounging, and double doors open onto the sun room, a glazed retreat looking out over the green space below that works as a garden room in the shoulder seasons and a quiet reading spot in high summer. The principal bedroom is a comfortable double with a wall of built-in wardrobes and an en suite shower room, and the second bedroom, also a proper double, sits at the opposite corner of the apartment for privacy and is served by a family bathroom with a full bath. A separate utility cupboard off the hallway houses the laundry, and there is further hallway storage besides. Residents of Foundry House enjoy the use of a 24 hour concierge, a private residents' gym, landscaped courtyard gardens, video entry and secure cycle storage, and the apartment is held on a long lease of more than 980 years.

Battersea Exchange was planned around its rail connections. Queenstown Road station, with its new rear entrance opening directly onto the development, runs South Western Railway services into Waterloo in around ten minutes, while Battersea Park station, a few minutes' walk away, serves Victoria on the Southern network. The Northern line extension at Battersea Power Station is comfortably reachable on foot, giving a Zone 1 Underground option alongside the mainline services. Battersea Park itself, with its 200 acres of lakes, lawns and riverside promenade, is a short stroll north, and the restaurants, bars and shopping of the restored Power Station and the wider Nine Elms quarter sit a little further along the river. Chelsea and Sloane Square are a pleasant walk across Chelsea Bridge, and the independent cafes and shops of Battersea Park Road are on the doorstep, with Clapham Junction and Battersea Rise a short bus ride to the south west.
