This split-level two-bedroom flat sits in a 1970s block a short walk from Clapham Junction, offering straightforward access to central London and local amenities. The accommodation includes a good-size reception room, fitted kitchen and a three-piece bathroom, presented in fair condition but needing renovation to modernise finishes and services.
The layout and proximity to transport make the flat attractive to first-time buyers seeking an affordable entry into SW11 and to investors targeting rental demand around Clapham Junction. There is no onward chain, which can speed a purchase, and the property benefits from double glazing and mains gas heating.
Practical points to note: the flat is leasehold with 88 years remaining, an average service charge of around £1,200 per year, and on-street residents permit parking only. The building is a 1970s concrete block with likely limited insulation; the property will suit buyers comfortable with refurbishment work and budget planning for potential upgrades.
Local amenities are strong — shops, bars, parks and several well-regarded schools are nearby — and transport links are excellent. However, the immediate area records higher crime levels and the block’s communal nature means prospective buyers should consider long-term maintenance and management arrangements.
