This spacious one-bedroom Victorian conversion occupies ground and lower-ground floors, extending to nearly 700 sq ft. High ceilings, sash bay windows and preserved period features give the rooms generous proportions and good natural light. The reception room and double bedroom both have feature fireplaces; an additional lower-ground snug works well as a home office or guest room.
A private south-west-facing garden is a standout for the area, ideal for summer entertaining and direct bedroom access. The cottage-style kitchen/dining room leads onto the garden and the flat offers abundant built-in storage throughout. Double glazing and a mains gas boiler with radiators provide practical comfort; the current EPC rating is C.
Share of freehold and approximately 99 years remaining on the lease give secure tenure. Transport links are excellent — Clapham Common, Clapham North, Clapham High Street and Brixton stations are all within walking distance, plus fast broadband and strong mobile signal make the home well suited to remote working and commuting.
Notable considerations: the building is solid-brick (original construction) and assumed to have no cavity insulation, which may affect running costs and could require upgrading for improved thermal performance. The layout is split-level with stairs between floors, which may not suit limited mobility. Crime levels in the local area are above average; buyers should factor this into personal security decisions. There is potential to extend subject to planning permission (STPP), offering scope to add value.
Overall this is a roomy, characterful one-bedroom with a rare private garden in central Clapham — best for first-time buyers or investor-buyers seeking central location, period charm and scope to improve energy efficiency or add space with planning approval.
