Set directly opposite Clapham Common, this cleverly designed open‑plan studio/one‑bed apartment occupies a Grade II listed building and brings a rare mix of period character and contemporary finish. Tall sash windows and high ceilings fill the space with light, while a crittall screen creates a defined bedroom area without losing the airy, open feel. A private terrace adds outdoor space rarely found at this price point in SW4.
The layout has been thoughtfully reworked to include a separate utility room and a modern bathroom, plus a breakfast bar kitchen ideal for single buyers or couples who enjoy entertaining. The long lease (circa 240 years), on‑site concierge and chain‑free sale simplify moving, and the location places cafes, restaurants and transport links within easy reach.
Be clear about practical issues: the property’s listed status means external and some internal works will require listed‑building consent and may limit alterations. Service charge and ground rent are notable (approx. £3,153 and £338 per year respectively). Broadband speeds are reported as slow, and the solid brick construction suggests limited built‑in insulation — factor potential heating costs and improvement restrictions into your budget.
This home will suit a first‑time buyer or investor seeking a stylish, low‑maintenance central London pied‑à‑terre with strong rental appeal and long lease security. If you value direct access to Clapham Common, period details and an outside terrace, this apartment offers immediate move‑in condition with clear scope for small, consented upgrades.
