occupying the top floor of a discreet development of just seven apartments by banda, this lateral battersea penthouse unfolds across approximately 1,725 sq ft, with expansive private terraces wrapping around three sides. finished in 2017 and presented in immaculate condition, it has the easy assurance of a home that has been carefully considered at every turn, from the flow of the layout to the calibre of its finishes.
at its centre is a wonderfully generous kitchen, dining and reception room extending to almost 33 feet in length. framed by floor-to-ceiling glazing and opening directly onto the terrace, it is a space made for both everyday ease and larger-scale entertaining. the interiors here were designed by paolo moschino, lending the apartment a sense of polish and warmth that lifts it above the ordinary, while the kitchen is sleek, understated and fully equipped with miele appliances.
the principal bedroom is quietly positioned away from the entertaining space and enjoys its own dressing room and ensuite bathroom. a second bedroom is also well proportioned, while a separate study offers further flexibility for home working or additional guest accommodation depending on requirements. altogether, the apartment is arranged with an unusual sense of width and calm, with nearly every principal room drawing in natural light and connecting back to the outside.
there are two bathrooms and a separate guest wc in total, all finished in a clean, contemporary style, and the apartment has been further enhanced with air conditioning and exquisite decorative touches including de gournay wallpaper.
the terraces are a particular draw, giving the apartment a rare sense of openness and providing ample room for dining and entertaining. added practicalities include a private gated parking space, porterage and lift access, all within a smart, intimate development.
radstock street sits in a well-connected pocket of battersea, close to the long sweep of battersea park and within easy reach of the neighbourhood’s growing collection of restaurants, cafés and independent shops. chelse a is just across the river, while the power station and the wider regeneration of nine elms have brought another layer of energy to this part of south-west london. it is an area that balances polish with real day-to-day liveability, which suits this apartment perfectly.
