A grand Victorian five-double-bedroom home directly opposite Clapham Common, set on the quiet cul-de-sac end of West Side. High ceilings, bay windows and period detail give spacious family living over four floors, with a large reception room, extended eat-in kitchen and a versatile lower-ground reception ideal for play, home working or media.
The house offers 3,035 sqft of accommodation, rear access and a private garden, with loft extension potential subject to planning (STPP). Its freehold tenure, strong broadband and excellent local schools make this a practical choice for families seeking space and convenient transport links (Clapham Common Northern Line; buses and Overground nearby).
Buyers should note a few material points: the plot is relatively small and the rear garden modest, there are only two bathrooms plus two WCs for five double bedrooms, and the solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated — upgrading thermal performance may be required. Council tax is very expensive and any loft or rear extensions will need planning permission and approvals.
Overall this is a characterful, well-located family home with scope to add value through sensitive extension and modernisation, especially for purchasers who prioritise space, school catchments and direct access to the Common.
