Battersea Park Road

Original features, exposed brickwork and double-height windows define this two-bedroom upper floor apartment for rent in Battersea.

Set within a Victorian schoolhouse converted into a private gated development, this two-bedroom apartment preserves its original character, from exposed brickwork to striking full-height windows. A sense of scale sets the tone for the upper ground floor apartment: the open-plan reception room and kitchen feel spacious and light-filled, enhanced by a dramatic double-height ceiling.

Materials are bold and industrial throughout the communal space. A bare brick wall runs the length of the room, while a white-painted joist supports the mezzanine level above. The kitchen is neatly integrated, with warm-toned cabinetry, high-quality appliances and crisp white worktops. Wooden floors run throughout, unifying the footprint, while thoughtful zoning lends both flexibility and function. At the far end of the space, a dedicated dining area is arranged alongside built-in shelving and further impressive metalwork.

Wooden stairs lead to the upper level, where two bedrooms await. The principal bedroom sits on the mezzanine platform, enjoying generous light, ample storage and elevated views across the living space and out through the expansive windows. Exposed brick continues across two walls, ensuring the home’s period charm is not lost. A second bedroom is discreetly positioned on the same floor, and both are served by a well-appointed family bathroom.
