This spacious two-bedroom apartment occupies the fourth floor of an imposing Grade II listed mansion block, directly overlooking Clapham Common. The flat’s high ceilings, tall sash windows and hardwood floors produce abundant natural light and a grand sense of space across nearly 900 sq ft. The large reception room with a semi-open kitchen is ideal for relaxed family living and entertaining.
Practical features include lift access, an en-suite shower room, a main bathroom and a rear communal walled garden for residents. One bedroom has been reconfigured as a dressing room/walk-in wardrobe but can easily revert to a second double bedroom. The long lease (240 years) and excellent park-side location close to Clapham Common Underground make this attractive for families and professionals.
Buyers should note material considerations: the building’s Grade II listed status restricts exterior and structural changes and may complicate alterations. Service charges are currently around £8,000 per year due to recent external works (historically nearer £4,000), and ground rent is £451 per annum. Broadband speeds in the area are slow and the building’s solid-brick construction likely has limited insulation. Council tax is described as expensive.
Overall this is a characterful, well-proportioned period apartment with significant park views and long lease security. It will suit purchasers who prioritise light, space and location and who accept listed-building constraints and above-average service costs.
