This four-double-bedroom freehold house sits on a quiet Abbeville Village street, a short walk from Clapham Common and Clapham South Underground. The ground floor offers a double reception with high ceilings and original fireplaces, while a contemporary extended kitchen/dining room with skylights opens onto a south-west facing garden — ideal for afternoon light and outdoor entertaining. The property totals about 1,693 sq ft and is offered chain free.
The house retains a wealth of period character — stained-glass hallway details, encaustic tiles and picture rails — alongside more modern interventions in the kitchen. Practical extras include a cellar and scope to extend into the loft to create one or two additional bedrooms, appealing to growing families who want long-term flexibility.
Buyers should note some straightforward upgrade items: the property was constructed in the 1930s–1940s with solid-brick walls (assumed no wall insulation), double glazing predating 2002, and mains gas boiler and radiators. These facts suggest future energy-efficiency improvements and wall insulation works may be worthwhile. Crime levels in the immediate area are above average — factor this into local considerations.
Overall this is a family-oriented home with immediate living comfort, strong local amenities, excellent transport links and clear potential to add value through loft extension and targeted insulation/modernisation works.
