In good order throughout with modern kitchen and double glazing

Close to Clapham Common, shops, cafés, and transport links
Situated on the top (second) floor of a Victorian mid-terrace in Clapham Old Town, this bright one-bedroom flat offers an attractive step onto the property ladder. The apartment has been kept in good order and benefits from modern kitchen fittings and double glazing, making it move-in ready for a buyer wanting convenience and low immediate maintenance.
Practical ownership is a strong selling point: share of freehold with a very long lease (985 years) removes common leasehold concerns and supports long-term value retention. The flat’s location on Larkhall Rise places cafés, shops and transport links within easy walking distance, with the open spaces of Clapham Common close by — ideal for weekday commuters and weekend leisure.
The apartment is compact at about 461 sq ft, so it will suit a single occupant or couple seeking an efficient central London base rather than those wanting extensive living space. There’s scope to improve thermal performance (solid brick walls likely uninsulated) and personalise throughout; any buyer should confirm service charge details and frequency, currently noted at £1,000.
This property will appeal to first-time buyers who prioritise location, a long lease and low initial works. Investors may also consider it for short-let or long-term rental, subject to confirming management arrangements and service charge commitments.
