Set within a gated development opposite Clapham Junction, this raised ground-floor one-bedroom flat offers secure living with exceptional communal facilities. The development includes concierge, CCTV, a leisure centre with heated pool, sauna, jacuzzi and gym, plus lush communal gardens and bicycle storage. An allocated off-street parking space is a practical bonus in this central location.
The apartment is well presented, with a bright living room and an eat-in kitchen arranged across approximately 565 sq ft. Double glazing is installed and the property is sold on a share-of-freehold tenure, which can appeal to buyers seeking long-term control of the building.
There are important practical considerations: the block was built in the late 1960s–70s and walls are cavity as built with no added insulation, so heating costs may be higher than modern homes. Heating is provided by electric storage heaters (no communal gas), and the service charge is substantial at about £3,432 per year. The local area records high crime levels, which buyers should factor into security and insurance decisions.
Overall, this flat will suit a first-time buyer or couple wanting ready-to-move-in accommodation near exceptional transport links and on-site amenities. It also has potential for a hands-on investor targeting easy-to-let central SW11 homes, provided ongoing charges and energy costs are acceptable.
