A spacious Victorian mid-terrace arranged over multiple floors, this four-bedroom home offers generous, light-filled family living just 160 yards from Clapham Common. The ground floor features a wider-than-average reception with a bay window and ornate fireplace, a separate dining room opening to a paved, low-maintenance garden, and a practical kitchen breakfast room with direct garden access. A cellar provides useful additional storage.
The first floor accommodates three bedrooms and a large family bathroom with separate bath and shower. The whole top floor is dedicated to the principal bedroom with its own bathroom and generous eaves storage, giving privacy and a clear separation of family and adult space. Period features such as high ceilings, architraves and stained-glass details are intact and contribute to the home’s character.
Practical points to note: the property has an EPC rating of E, solid brick walls with no known added insulation, and council tax is high. The plot is relatively small but the paved garden is private and low maintenance. This house is well placed for families who want easy access to parks, strong local schools and the shops, cafés and transport connections around Northcote Road, Lavender Hill and Clapham Junction.
Overall, the house is an attractive, characterful family home with scope for energy improvements and updating to raise efficiency and value. It will particularly suit buyers who prioritise location, flexible living space and period detail, and who are prepared to plan for straightforward refurbishment work to improve thermal performance and lower running costs.
