Set on a quiet residential street off Clapham Common, this well-presented one-bedroom period conversion offers 472 sq ft of comfortable living in a desirable SW11 location. High ceilings and original Victorian character combine with more recent double glazing and a long lease (998 years) to create a low-hassle ownership proposition — ideal as a first home or central pied-à-terre. Share of freehold adds longer-term security and control.
The flat sits within walking distance of Clapham Junction and Northcote Road’s shops, cafés and market, with excellent mobile and fast broadband for remote working. Mains gas central heating and a private garden add practical comfort for everyday use. Local schools include several Ofsted-rated options and an affluent, highly educated local population.
Notable negatives are factual: the building’s solid brick walls likely lack cavity insulation, and the area records higher crime levels than average. Service charges average £1,800 per year; council tax is not specified. Buyers seeking fully modern thermal performance should factor potential insulation or energy-efficiency works into budgets.
