WHAT’S NEW ON THE BLOCK

An incredible £9billion is being poured into transforming Battersea Power Station into a new mixed-use riverside destination. This will incorporate the original grade II* -listed power station alongside a number of state-of-the-art buildings and includes leisure venues as well as 4,239 new homes. One-bed apartments are from £865,000, battersea powerstation. co.uk.

Prince of Wales Drive, from St William, is another landmark scheme, consisting of 926 homes set in landscaped gardens close to the park and river, and five minutes’ walk from the forthcoming Battersea Power Station Tube stop. One to four-bed apartments in the final phase, Upper Park Residences start from £785,000 and residents have use of a host of amenities, such as a cinema room and bar, princeofwalesdrive.co.uk.

The lack of affordable homes for sale in Battersea is being addressed by Latimer, which is offering a range of one and two-bed shared ownership apartments at Windsor Apartments.

Each features a good-sized balcony or terrace, a high-end kitchen and bathroom and underfloor heating throughout, and residents will have direct access to Battersea Park through a reclaimed railway arch. Prices for the last remaining one-bed apartments in Radley House start from £156,250 for a 25 per cent share of £625,000, and two-beds in Elmbridge House are from £211,250 for 25 per cent of £845,000. Homes in two further buildings, Bowden House and Malvern House, are due to launch this winter, windsorapartments-SW11.co.uk. Two and three-bed apartments are on offer at Linden’s Viewpoint (inset) next to the Thames. All have private outside space and the developer is currently covering stamp duty costs on selected plots, from £659,000, lindenhomes.co.uk.

Every home in Avanton’s Coda – where the next phase, the Terrace Collection, launches shortly – also has a balcony or terrace. From £770,000 for a two-bed, avanton.co.uk.
