Set directly opposite Clapham Common, this lower-ground three-bedroom flat combines generous lateral space with period detail and modern finishes. The principal bedroom has an en suite, two further bedrooms suit family or home-office use, and a spacious open-plan reception/dining area leads onto a private patio garden — a calm, leafy outlook rare for central locations.
Residents benefit from a concierge service and access to a private walled communal garden, while excellent transport links (Clapham Common and Clapham Junction nearby) make commutes straightforward. The flat sits within a Grade II listed Victorian building, retaining authentic exterior character alongside contemporary interiors, tasteful fittings and double-glazed windows.
Practical points to note: the property is leasehold (circa 240 years remaining) with an average ground rent of £500 and fairly high council tax. The building’s listed status can limit alterations and may cause additional consent processes and costs. Walls are original solid brick with no assumed cavity insulation and broadband speeds are slow—both could require investment to upgrade comfort and connectivity.
For families seeking space, period character and immediate access to green space and good local schools, this is a rare opportunity on Clapham Common North Side. It will suit buyers looking for a well-proportioned home with attractive communal amenities and potential to personalise services and energy performance over time.
