This compact two-bedroom first-floor conversion sits in a well-connected stretch of Clapham Road, a short walk from Oval tube and local buses. The apartment retains period character including a fireplace and sash-style windows, while contemporary touches like wooden flooring give a bright, ready-to-live-in feel. Offered chain free and vacant, it suits buyers seeking a straightforward move or a buy-to-let starter.
At 478 sq ft the layout is efficient but small; there is one bathroom and a separate kitchen and reception. The building dates from the early 20th century and walls are solid brick with no fitted cavity insulation reported, which may affect heating costs despite a mains-gas boiler and radiators. EPC rating C is middling for the area.
Practicalities to note: the flat is leasehold with a modest ground rent (£25) and below-average service charge (£480). Council tax banding isn’t provided. Nearby schools include several rated Outstanding, and local amenities, cycle hire and green spaces are within easy reach — useful for commuting professionals or first-time buyers wanting urban convenience.
Overall this property offers a low-entry route into SW9 ownership or a straightforward rental opportunity. Buyers should plan for possible energy-efficiency improvements and consider the footprint when arranging furniture or planning any refurbishment.
