This seventh-floor two-bedroom flat in Skipsea House combines open-plan living with sweeping south-facing views across Wandsworth Common and parkland. The reception/kitchen flows onto a balcony that catches afternoon sun and frames the Royal Victoria Patriotic Building and cricket pitches — perfect for relaxed evenings or weekend entertaining.
Both bedrooms are double-sized with built-in storage and the layout includes plentiful additional storage, lift access and residents-only off-street parking. The apartment benefits from double glazing and a communal gas heating scheme, making it straightforward to run and maintain for a family or professional couple.
Practical matters to note: the property is leasehold with 97 years remaining and an average service charge of around £2,000 a year. The building dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s and has cavity walls assumed without added insulation, which may affect future energy upgrades. The area is lively and well connected, but recorded local crime levels are high, and being on an upper floor means some street noise may carry up from nearby amenities and transport hubs.
Local life centres on Wandsworth Common and the cafes, boutiques and restaurants of Northcote Road and Bellevue Road. Excellent transport links put Clapham Junction and Wandsworth Common stations within easy reach, while a mix of well-regarded schools makes this a practical choice for a growing family or buyers seeking a well-located rental investment.
