Period character and high ceilings, moments from Northcote Road and Clapham Junction.
Large one-bedroom upper-ground flat, 559 sq ft (51.9 sq m)
Bright, spacious and well-located, this large one-bedroom flat sits on Shelgate Road ‘between the commons’, moments from Northcote Road and Clapham Junction. High Victorian ceilings, large sash-style windows and decorative fireplace give the reception room strong period character, while the eat-in kitchen offers a practical everyday layout. The flat measures 559 sq ft (51.9 sq m) and benefits from plenty of natural light throughout.
For first-time buyers this is a straightforward purchase: share of freehold, a 999-year lease and no onward chain simplify the process. The finish is described as good throughout, with modern kitchen fittings and a bathroom (shower over bath). Local transport is excellent — quick access at Clapham Junction and nearby stations — and both Clapham and Wandsworth Commons are within easy walking distance.
Practical notes: the building is a c.1900 mid-terrace with solid brick walls (insulation assumed absent) and double glazing of unknown age. Council Tax band D is moderate for the area. The flat includes one bedroom with built-in wardrobes and a small garden, which is rare for a flat in this location.
This property will suit a buyer seeking period character and space close to excellent amenities and transport, and who is comfortable with the maintenance expectations of an older building. It also presents low-risk buy-to-let potential given location and transport links.
