Chain-free, characterful one-bed with balcony near Clapham Common and excellent transport links.
Chain-free raised-ground Victorian conversion
One double bedroom with period features and high ceilings
Private balcony with direct garden access from kitchen
About 604 sq ft — comfortable, traditional layout
Long leasehold tenure (leasehold) — check exact term
EPC rating C — moderate energy efficiency
Solid brick walls (pre-1900) likely need insulation improvements
Excellent location by Clapham Common and strong transport links
Set on a sought-after Clapham street and offered chain-free, this raised-ground Victorian conversion makes an inviting first-home or buy-to-let. High ceilings, original cornicing and generous sash windows create a light, airy living room while the separate dining area and kitchen open onto a private balcony with direct garden access.
At about 604 sq ft, the one-bedroom layout feels spacious for its size thanks to period proportions and tall rooms. The location is a major draw: Clapham Common and Battersea Park are within easy reach, and transport links are excellent for central London commutes. Nearby schools and local shops add practical convenience.
The flat is leasehold with a long lease and has an EPC rating of C. Constructed before 1900 with solid brick walls, the building will likely benefit from insulation and energy-efficiency improvements over time. Heating is mains gas with a boiler and radiators; currently the property presents well but could reward modest updating.
Truthful strengths and considerations: the apartment’s characterful features and balcony are stand-out positives, and being chain-free speeds any purchase. Buyers should note the leasehold tenure, solid-brick construction that may need insulation work, and an EPC of C — worthwhile to factor into running costs and any renovation budget. A viewing will best reveal the light, proportions and genuine potential of this Clapham flat.
