Chain-free one-bedroom ground-floor flat with period features
Bright, characterful and chain-free, this ground-floor Victorian flat sits on a quiet Clapham road moments from Clapham Common. High ceilings and a large bay window give the reception room a spacious, airy feel, while built-in shelving and a period mantelpiece add genuine character. The open-plan kitchen keeps the living space social and light.
The bedroom opens onto a private garden and gives internal access to a cellar currently used as storage; the cellar could be repurposed as a dressing room or utility area. A well-sized bathroom separates sleeping and living areas, and the building is described as well managed with a below-average service charge.
Practical points to note: the property is leasehold with 87 years remaining, a ground rent of £100 and a service charge of £520. The building is solid-brick Victorian construction with no known cavity insulation, and the glazing dates are unknown. The area has excellent transport, fast broadband and many local amenities, but recorded local crime is high, which may concern some buyers.
This flat suits a first-time buyer or buyer seeking a characterful pied-à-terre close to Clapham’s shops, cafés and green space. It offers immediate move-in condition with modest scope to personalise, while the cellar and garden present practical storage and flexible space. Buyers should check lease details and consider insulation upgrades when budgeting.
