Newly renovated one-bed with Common views and long lease, ideal city base.
Views over Clapham Common
Set on Clapham Common South Side with direct views over the Common, this recently renovated one-bedroom apartment sits in a handsome period building and is offered with no onward chain. The reception and bedroom face the Common, bringing light into a compact 330 sq ft layout. Modern finishes, built-in storage and a fitted kitchen with mirrored feature maximise space and appeal.
The flat benefits from a very long lease (982 years), double glazing, lift access and off-street parking by residents’ permit. A small ground rent (£50) and affordable council tax make running costs predictable. The building is managed by a professional management company and has an active residents association.
Practical considerations: the property uses electric storage heaters and has solid brick walls likely without cavity insulation, which can mean higher heating costs than gas-heated homes. The apartment is small and best suited to a single occupant, a couple, first-time buyer or investor wanting a well-located city pad. The local area is lively with excellent transport links, shops and amenities, but crime statistics and area deprivation indicators are higher than average and should be weighed by buyers.
With Clapham Common, Abbeville Village and Clapham Old Town on the doorstep, this flat offers immediate access to green space, cafes and underground connections — a convenient, compact base in one of South London’s most popular neighbourhoods.
