Two double-bedroom flat by Clapham Common with private and communal terraces; renovation opportunity..
Two double bedrooms with terrace access
Set on the first floor of a purpose-built block on Clapham High Street, this two double-bedroom apartment offers a practical central London base with outdoor space. The property benefits from a private terrace plus a communal roof terrace that runs the length of the flat, bringing outdoor access and potential for entertaining or relaxing in the sun.
Accommodation includes two double bedrooms, a sitting room with terrace access, a fitted kitchen and a bathroom. The layout is traditional and straightforward, with an average overall size of 659 sq ft. The long lease (109 years remaining) provides tenure security for buyers and investors alike.
The flat requires renovation and redecoration throughout, giving incoming buyers scope to add value by updating finishes and services. Note the property is heated by electric storage heaters and has slow broadband speeds; these are practical limitations to consider when planning upgrades. The service charge is above average at £4,800 per year and the area records very high crime levels, both important factors for budgeting and insurance.
Location is a strong selling point: Clapham Common and Clapham Common Underground are within easy reach, with shops, restaurants and transport links providing fast access to the City and West End. Local schools include several good or outstanding primary options, making the area appealing to buyers wanting local schooling choices.
