This is one of Battersea’s truly exceptional houses, not just for its scale but for the history, architecture and rarity of the setting.
Dating back to 1699 and widely believed to be the work of Sir Christopher Wren, Old Battersea House is a Grade II* listed manor extending to over 10,000 sq ft, with six reception rooms, seven bedrooms and beautiful walled gardens overlooking the River Thames.
Following a two-year restoration completed in 2022, the house combines extraordinary period features - baroque interiors, panelled rooms, sweeping staircases and original fireplaces - with the standards expected of a contemporary family home. There’s also a cinema, gym, secure parking for eight cars and the potential for a generous guest house.
What makes this particularly special is the setting: a grand country-house feel, yet moments from Battersea Square and across the river from Chelsea and the King’s Road.
For buyers, this is the kind of property where understanding scarcity, heritage and position is just as important as understanding the house itself. There simply aren’t many opportunities to buy a home of this scale and history in central London.
