Set within a converted Victorian school in the Diamond Conservation Area, this split-level two-double-bedroom apartment offers dramatic vaulted ceilings and generous volume across circa 1,100 sq ft. The oversized open-plan reception with high sash windows and a mezzanine creates a bright, airy living space well suited to professionals or a couple seeking character and contemporary living in SW8.
Practical benefits include two bathrooms (one en-suite), allocated gated off-street parking, communal gardens and a long share of freehold (975 years). The property is chain free and arranged over two floors, giving a large principal bedroom suite and flexible second bedroom that works as a home office or guest room.
Buyers should note the material costs: an annual service charge of approximately £7,000 (above average) and a Council Tax Band F. The building is a Victorian solid-brick construction with no confirmed modern wall insulation, and the area records above-average crime — both factual considerations for budgeting and security planning.
Overall this apartment will suit buyers who value volume, period character and gated parking close to Clapham Common, Battersea Park and local transport links. It presents ready-to-live-in contemporary condition but comes with higher running costs and some fabric and security considerations typical of older central-London conversions.
