This bright two-bedroom second-floor flat offers a compact, well-presented home in Clapham SW4. The reception room benefits from a large picture window and engineered wood floors, giving a light, airy feel throughout the main living space.

Transport links are strong: Clapham South Underground is within a mile and regular buses serve Clapham Common, Clapham North and Brixton. Local amenities, schools with good Ofsted ratings and fast broadband make this a convenient urban base for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors.
Buyers should note the property footprint is modest (c. 584 sq ft) so room sizes are small-to-average and storage may be limited. The block is solid-brick construction likely without wall insulation as built; future buyers may wish to budget for insulation or energy improvements despite the listed energy rating (C/D guidance in the brochure). Annual service charge is approximately £1,900 and ground rent is £10; tenure is leasehold.
Overall this is a straightforward, well-maintained apartment in an established, inner-city neighbourhood. It suits someone seeking an affordable entry into Clapham or an investor after a compact two-bed with good transport and communal outdoor space. Viewing will confirm exact layout, condition and prospects for minor upgrades.
