Summary - Clapham Park Road, London SW4 7DU
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Compact characterful apartment ideal for refurbishment or rental income.
Top-floor period flat with original sash windows and timber floors
Approx 505 sq ft — compact one-bedroom, efficient open-plan layout
Just moments from Clapham Common, Clapham North and High Street
Lease 89 years remaining — important for mortgage/extension costs
Peppercorn ground rent £10 pa; service charge £995 pa
EPC D; solid-brick walls likely without insulation — energy work advised
No private garden apparent; small front forecourt only
Good broadband and mobile signal; area popular with renters and professionals
This top-floor one-bedroom in SW4 sits moments from Clapham Common and Clapham High Street, offering a compact yet characterful London home. Period features such as sash windows, timber floorboards and high ceilings give it a distinctive feel, while the open-plan living/kitchen makes efficient use of about 505 sq ft. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal suit remote working and city living.
The flat is well-suited to a first-time buyer or investor seeking a straightforward refurbishment project. A modest modernisation would unlock rental or resale potential in a popular transport corridor (Clapham North and Clapham Common nearby). Outgoings are clear: a low peppercorn ground rent (£10 pa) and a below-average service charge (£995 pa) keep running costs manageable, though the lease has 89 years remaining — a material consideration for mortgage lenders and future buyers.
Practical points are straightforward but honest. The property has an EPC rating of D and solid-brick walls that likely lack insulation, so improving thermal performance would both increase comfort and reduce energy costs. The building presents as a Victorian/Georgian conversion; while attractive, the flat’s compact footprint means space optimisation will be important. There’s no obvious private garden amenity shown on the plan, aside from a small front forecourt.
If you want a central Clapham base you can personalise — or a rental with good local demand — this apartment offers a rare peppercorn ground rent and clear scope for value uplift. Buyers should budget for lease considerations and targeted energy upgrades to maximise long-term appeal.
