Bright period flat with long lease and sweeping park views, ideal central location.
Third-floor Grade II listed period conversion with high ceilings
Set on the third floor of a Grade II listed period conversion, this one-bedroom apartment enjoys high ceilings, large bay windows and sweeping views across Clapham Common. The open-plan kitchen, dining and reception area is bright and sociable, with wood floors and a decorative fireplace that retain character while the kitchen and bathroom have been updated to modern standards.
Practical aspects include plentiful built-in storage, a long lease (155 years remaining) and mains gas central heating. Its location is a major draw: direct access to Clapham Common, short walks to Clapham Common tube and Clapham High Street overground, plus abundant local shops, cafés and schools rated Outstanding and Good.
Buyers should note this is a listed property, which will restrict significant alterations and may complicate works or extensions. The service charge is approximately £2,550 per year and the flat is a modest 462 sq ft, suitable for one occupant or a couple rather than a family.
The surrounding area scores highly for transport and local amenities but records higher local crime and pockets of deprivation; broadband speeds are average while mobile signal is excellent. Overall this apartment will suit a buyer seeking a characterful, well-located one-bedroom with long lease security, who accepts listed-building constraints and the service charge.
