Summary - 29d Lavender Gardens SW11 1DJ
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Compact period flat with rare private terrace, long lease and share-of-freehold.
Large private roof terrace significantly increases usable space
This Victorian conversion one-bedroom apartment pairs period character with contemporary living on quiet Lavender Gardens, moments from Clapham Common. The open-plan reception and kitchen benefit from high ceilings and sash windows, while an exceptionally large private terrace dramatically increases usable outdoor space — rare for a central London flat.
Practical ownership is straightforward: a share of the freehold and an extremely long lease (988 years) remove common leasehold headaches. The internal footprint is compact at about 454 sq ft, arranged as an open living/kitchen, double bedroom and family bathroom — ready for immediate occupation following light cosmetic presentation.
Be clear about the trade-offs: the home is a small, urban one-bed rather than a family property, with a service charge of approximately £1,668 per year. The building’s solid brick construction suggests limited wall insulation, and the area records higher-than-average crime, which buyers should factor into security and insurance decisions.
For a first-time buyer looking to live close to green space and excellent transport links, or an investor seeking a lettable central-London one-bed with standout outdoor amenity, this apartment offers rare terrace space, a long lease and share-of-freehold security. The place suits someone prioritising location and outdoor living over extensive internal square footage.
