the internal area extends to over 1,930 sq ft. the principal suite includes a dressing room and a marble-clad ensuite, while two further bedrooms share the same riverside aspect and balcony access. a utility room and guest wc add to the practical layout. parquet floors and marble bathrooms bring a tactile elegance. residents benefit from 24-hour concierge and security.
chelse a bridge wharf occupies a privileged stretch of the south bank of the thames. battersea park is a near neighbour, its boating lake, formal gardens and sweeping lawns offering an all-season escape for running, tennis or quiet sunday walks. across the bridge lie sloane square and the king’s road, with their mix of old-world chelse a charm, smart boutiques and long-established restaurants.
to the east, the transformation of battersea power station has brought acclaimed restaurants, riverside cafés and independent shops, while a new northern line station and the riverbus at battersea power station pier place the city and west end within easy reach. morning markets on nearby northcote road, art openings at the saatchi gallery and the lively riverside path towards albert bridge all add to the sense of a neighbourhood that combines cosmopolitan energy with a rare feeling of space and greenery.
