Victorian Heights, Battersea, SW8

An impressive 839 sq ft loft apartment arranged over two floors within Victorian Heights, a beautifully converted former school set in gated, landscaped grounds in Battersea’s sought-after Diamond Conservation Area. Situated on the ground floor with un-demised garden area immediately outside, accessed via its own large front door, the apartment combines generous proportions with the character and architectural detail of the original building.

Originally built in the late 1800s, Victorian Heights was formerly known as Thackeray School. Following the school’s closure in the 1980s, the three buildings were adapted for commercial use before being converted into loft apartments in 2004. Today, its beautifully maintained communal gardens provide a peaceful setting for residents to enjoy, with night-time security and a full-time estate caretaker. This apartment was originally part of the boys’ gymnasium and is tucked away in a very quiet corner of a large alcove.

The main living space is defined by striking 4.48-metre ceiling heights and exceptionally large windows, bringing an abundance of natural light into the apartment. A spacious open-plan kitchen opens onto the generous reception and dining area, providing an excellent space for entertaining. Great care has been taken with the layout and finish to make the most of the building’s impressive proportions.

A large mezzanine bedroom including efficient office area occupies the upper level, offering flexibility in how the space is arranged. The accommodation also includes a full bathroom and a separate WC at ground-floor level.

The apartment is offered chain free with a share of freehold. Further benefits include secure parking with a dedicated parking bay immediately outside and eligibility for on-street residents’ parking permits.

Thackeray Road is a quiet residential street, conveniently placed for the shops, bars and restaurants of Queenstown Road, Battersea Park Road, and Lavender Hill. The open spaces of Clapham Common and Battersea Park are within easy reach. Transport connections include Queenstown Road and Battersea Park train stations, Clapham Common and Battersea Power Station underground stations a short walk away and numerous bus routes very nearby.
