Nine property portfolio at Battersea Power Station

Some places just have a different kind of energy the first time you walk in. That is what happened to me at Battersea Power Station in London. I was expecting just another apartment or maybe two side by side, but honestly, this is more than that. Here you have a portfolio of nine apartments right where the city seems to keep changing, almost reinventing itself year by year. Battersea has that mix of old brick and shiny glass that makes you feel things are happening all the time. You are not far from the river, so you get that making spaces out in both directions. You feel the buzz but, somehow, you can still find a proper quiet spot to sit and read if you want.

If you like the light, you will notice it immediately. Every apartment, from the studios up to the two bedrooms, feels bigger than you expect when you first see the numbers on paper. The studios have got these huge windows. I stood there one afternoon and just watched London changing its mood as the clouds moved. There are corners that feel right to settle into for work, maybe with headphones on and a coffee close by. I could imagine anyone actually enjoying living or working in one of these. And when you are in the Roof Gardens, in the one or two bedroom apartments, it honestly feels like a bit of a retreat from the pace down at street level. You get proper green space up on the rooftops, which is more rare than you would think in this part of London. You might hear a bit of city noise drifting up but most of the time it is your own world up there. Sometimes you even catch the wind or the sound of birds which you do not expect so close to the centre.

When it comes to kitchens it is not just style at play. I opened a few cupboards and checked what you would actually fit in and it makes sense. There is room for all the essentials and even a few extras and the way things open means you are not bumping elbows or stuck for counter space. There is a built in feeling these are homes made for real day to day life and not just for show. Honestly those details start to matter a lot more when you think about owning nine units in one shot, maybe renting some out and keeping one for yourself, or even handing the whole thing down for generations. Plus there is plenty of built in storage throughout every apartment so you are not tripping over boxes or trying to fit your shopping into strange places.

The building itself is a bit of a London icon. People come and go all the time. I actually saw three different families with pushchairs just while waiting at the entrance. It is a neighbourhood where things keep happening, from weekend markets with pastries you actually want to eat, to little art shows popping up where you least expect. There is a private lounge for residents where you will catch people sitting with a newspaper or kids coming down with a parent for a hot chocolate after school. The concierge is there around the clock and I noticed they were chatty, not just formal and polite. That makes apartment living in London feel way more personal. You do not have to worry about collecting parcels or even booking your next gym session.

Speaking of which, the gym and spa areas downstairs are actually used. No one standing around taking selfies, just real people getting on with their workouts or winding down at the end of the day. Even if you have never been a gym goer before, having it right there makes it easier to start. Walking to the river is just a few minutes and transport is a breeze. You can get almost anywhere in central London fast so life just keeps moving when you live here or if your tenants do.

All nine units are finished and waiting. You are not stuck waiting for building delays or endless snagging. The lifestyle here is both relaxed and connected. Honestly, you will know if it is right as soon as you step through the door. If you want to walk through or just want to hear more about Battersea and living in one of London's most interesting new spots, send a quick message any time. We are always here, ready when you are.
