Belying its handsome traditional facade, this four-bedroom Victorian home has been the subject of a radical and light-enhancing intervention by the architect Jo Cowen. This has included a complete renovation of the house and the addition of a striking, black-clad, two-storey rear extension. Set over four storeys, the house exceeds 2,000 sq ft internally and has a private rear garden and substantial off-street parking. It lies within a conservation area on the highly coveted Westbridge Road, one of Battersea's finest residential streets, situated between Battersea Park and vibrant Battersea Square and just across the bridge from Chelsea.
