Occupying the first floor of a Grade II listed Victorian building, this one-bedroom apartment offers dramatic proportions and far-reaching views across the green. The dual-aspect reception — nicknamed “The Ballroom” — benefits from 3.9m ceilings, original cornices and parquet flooring, creating an impressive main entertaining space for comfortable living and effortless hosting.
Practical benefits include a long lease (circa 980 years), share of freehold, access to communal gardens and residents’ off-street parking. The principal bedroom is generous with fitted wardrobes, and the property enjoys excellent mobile reception and low local crime, set moments from Clapham Old Town and transport links.
Buyers should note this is a listed building, which will complicate alterations and may restrict changes to windows, internal features and external fabric. The solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated and broadband speeds are slow; the flat’s historic fabric could therefore require targeted upgrades for improved thermal performance and connectivity.
Service charges are above average at around £6,000 per year, reflecting communal maintenance and historic building upkeep. For purchasers seeking a characterful, centrally positioned home with real entertaining space and long-term ownership security, this apartment offers a rare combination of scale, setting and garden/parking benefits — provided they accept listed constraints and the ongoing maintenance commitments.
