Summary - Ground Floor Flat, 21 Vardens Road SW11 1RQ
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Bright two-bedroom ground-floor flat with private garden and period features near Clapham Junction.
Victorian ground-floor flat with high ceilings and bay-windowed reception
Set on a quiet stretch of Vardens Road, this ground-floor two-bedroom flat blends Victorian character with a private garden and outside balcony — a rare find for first-time buyers near Clapham Junction. High ceilings, a bay-windowed reception with original cornicing and a classic fireplace give immediate period charm, while an open-plan kitchen/dining area offers practical everyday living and room to personalise.
Practical details are straightforward: the remaining lease is long (148 years) and the property includes a useful cellar for storage. Heating is by mains gas boiler and the windows are double glazed (installed before 2002). Council tax is described as affordable and there is fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — conveniences that suit modern life and working-from-home needs.
Be clear about the work and costs you might face. The building has solid brick walls with assumed no cavity insulation, and the double glazing is older — improvements to thermal efficiency may be worthwhile. The property is leasehold with an annual service charge (around £2,400), and the local area records above-average crime, which some buyers weigh against the excellent transport and neighbourhood amenities.
Overall this is a well-located, characterful apartment with a private garden and sensible long lease. It suits first-time buyers wanting period features and outdoor space, and those prepared to invest modestly in insulation and modernising finishes to increase comfort and value.
