Summary - LARKHALL RISE, SW4 SW4 6LD
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Large two-bed with loft potential close to Clapham Common.
Top-floor Victorian conversion with high ceilings and bay window
Approximately 994 sq ft — unusually generous two-bedroom plan
New carpets and double-glazed sash windows throughout
Loft conversion potential (STPP) — requires freeholder consent
Share of freehold but only 89 years remaining on lease
Solid brick walls likely uninsulated — potential energy costs
Compact bathroom and top-floor stairs access may limit convenience
Excellent location near Clapham Common, shops and multiple stations
Set on the top floor of a handsome Victorian conversion, this two-bedroom apartment combines original character with recent upgrades. The bright reception benefits from high ceilings and a bay window; new carpets and double-glazed sash windows refresh the interior while retaining period detail. At approximately 994 sq ft, the flat is spacious for a two-bedroom in central Clapham.
Practical benefits include share of freehold ownership and a favourable location moments from Clapham Common, Clapham High Street and local transport links. The home suits first-time buyers or professionals who want a roomy, characterful base with easy access to cafés, shops and multiple tube/overground stations.
There is clear potential to add value by converting the loft (subject to planning permission and freeholder consent), which would materially increase living space. Buyers should note the current lease has 89 years remaining; this may affect mortgage options and will be an important consideration if you plan to refinance or sell later.
The building’s solid-brick construction likely lacks cavity wall insulation, so expect higher heating costs unless insulating work is carried out. The apartment is top-floor only accessible by stairs and the bathroom is compact — both factors to weigh if mobility or storage are priorities.
