Light-filled and stylish, this ground-floor Victorian conversion offers a turn-key two-double-bedroom home with a private entrance and a landscaped walled garden. The open-plan reception and contemporary kitchen, complete with skylights and bi-folding doors, creates a social heart for both relaxed evenings and weekend entertaining. With 724 sq ft of space, the layout feels generous for a first purchase or a small family moving into the area.
Practical positives include a very long lease (178 years remaining), double glazing fitted after 2002, mains gas central heating and convenient street access with a gate from the garden. The property sits between Clapham and Brixton, within easy walking distance of Acre Lane amenities, Clapham Common and multiple transport links — useful for commuting and local life.
Be clear on a few material points: this is a leasehold flat (not freehold) with a single bathroom and solid brick walls that are assumed to have no added cavity insulation, which can affect running costs and future upgrade plans. Crime and area deprivation indicators are average for the locality, and the flat is on the ground floor of an older building (pre-1900), so buyers should check any maintenance responsibilities in the lease.
Overall this is a well-presented, chain‑free apartment that will suit first-time buyers or couples looking for ready-to-live-in space with private outdoor area, easy transport links and strong local amenities. The long lease reduces short-term tenure risk, while modest retrofit work (insulation) could improve comfort and energy costs over time.
