Well-proportioned bedroom and smart bathroom, move-in ready
Leasehold with 102 years remaining; average service charge £1,200

Bright and compact, this one-bedroom second-floor flat offers sensible living space in a central Clapham location. The reception room is light and opens to a small dining area; the separate kitchen is contemporary with integrated appliances. The bedroom is well-proportioned and the bathroom is smart — ready to move into for an individual or couple.
Practical points add to the appeal: a long lease (102 years), double glazing installed after 2002, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. The flat sits close to Clapham High Street amenities, a large Sainsbury’s and green space at Clapham Common, with Clapham North tube within easy reach.
Be clear about the material downsides: the property is leasehold with an average service charge of around £1,200 per year and sits in an area with higher crime and local deprivation indicators. The building dates from the late 1970s/early 1980s and has partial cavity wall insulation, so buyers should factor future maintenance or upgrade costs into their budget.
This home suits a first-time buyer seeking an affordable foothold close to transport and leisure, or an investor after a city-centre one-bedroom with strong connectivity. It’s a practical, low-upkeep flat that favours convenience over spaciousness.
