According to the latest report from Cluttons, riverfront homes are among the most resilient properties in the capital, making them a prime investment choice, and for those seeking their trophy Thames-side home, Weston Homes’ stunning Presidential Residence within the award-winning Bridges Wharf in Battersea is definitely worth considering.

The luxury residence offers 180-degree, panoramic views across the River Thames, which can be enjoyed from the two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment’s living room, kitchen, bedrooms and expansive terraces. Located on the twelfth floor of the scheme’s Altura Tower building, the outstanding home is set within the same building as the London’s first five-star hotel on the south bank of the Thames.

Bob Weston, Chairman and Chief Executive of Weston Homes, commented, “People have, and always will, want to live overlooking water and it is no surprise that these homes command premium values and continue to sustain them. The Presidential Residence is the most luxurious apartment Weston Homes has built to date and offers a supreme level of grandeur and interior specification with breathtaking views of the Thames and London.

“London riverside homes are in limited supply and when you combine this factor with an innovative and aesthetically impressive design, such as at Bridges Wharf, it becomes clear why a waterfront apartment sustains an almost ‘recession proof’ appeal.”

The stunning apartment boasts a space of close to 2,100 sq ft (195 sq m) and offers the ultimate five-star lifestyle afforded to the privileged few. It is the only apartment for sale in the Altura Tower that has a 700 sq ft open-air outdoor entertaining area that stretches around most of the apartment’s perimeter, providing the perfect setting for summer evening soirees and large enough for several sun loungers to soak up the sun and the fantastic London skyline.

Thameside views can be enjoyed from all aspects of the home, especially in the kitchen and living areas which benefit from floor to ceiling double-glazed windows, complete with a stylish, tiled winter garden that also acts as a conservatory and cuts out all noise from the outside world.

The kitchen and living area feature Cordoba Brown marble floors and granite worktops, two Miele ovens, two hobs, a warming draw and BBQ grill, a wine fridge, a double-door Liebherr fridge/ freezer complete with an ice-maker and water cooler, stainless steel microwave and integrated dishwater and waste disposal bins. The stunning residence also boasts a fully integrated audio visual system including a wall-mounted 50“ LCD TV in the living area, DVD player, provision for Sky+ and ceiling mounted speakers incorporated into each room with touch screen control panels.

Bedrooms include built-in wardrobes finished with full height American Black Walnut doors to complement the stylish interior design. Each bedroom has en suite bathroom boasting Crema marble flooring with underfloor heating, wall-hung Roca sanitaryware, chrome taps and fittings and heated mirrors to prevent them steaming up in keeping with the modern ethos of the apartment. The master bathroom exudes luxury boasting ‘his and her’ basins, integrated 15” LCD TV and a private steam/shower room.

The Presidential Residence enjoys a hotel lifestyle with 24-hour security and concierge services such as dry cleaning, daily papers and even maid services available for use that will cater to the resident’s every need. The impressive apartment also benefits from three secure, underground parking spaces. Bridges Wharf offers the very best of inner city London living while being a stone’s throw from the shopping mecca that is Chelsea’s Kings Road.
