There’s something for everyone in Clapham and it draws an eclectic crowd. Clapham Common buzzes with activity and there’s a diverse mix of restaurants, shops, independent boutiques and nightlife, along with some wonderful architecture. The local schools are excellent and the transport options plentiful, with three London Underground (Northern Line) stations in close proximity and frequent London Overground trains from Clapham High Street station. It rarely feels overcrowded here, despite the abundance of things to do, and Clapham endures as one of the most desirable places to live in south London.

Property details
An impressive three bedroom apartment with over 1100 square feet of internal living space, between the amenities in Clapham and Brixton. Queenswood Court is perfectly located, set back from Kings Avenue and equidistant to both of these popular neighbourhoods. With the charming Abbeville Village also within a few minutes’ walk, the location cannot be understated.
The apartment has a private entrance and is located on the ground floor of this grand period mansion block, and with such a generous square footage, purchasers will be hard-pressed to find many flats that boast such great dimensions. The spacious separate reception room at the front of the property is a real show-stopper, with multiple West-facing windows – not only ensuring the room enjoys an abundance of natural light but also providing pleasant views of the surrounding flora and fauna.
Occupying the adjacent front window and overlooking the private front garden, a considerably spacious bedroom complete with generous built-in storage. The second impressively large bedroom resides at the back of the property, also complete with built-in storage and access to the large shared garden at the rear of the building. A third bedroom also occupies the rear of the flat, nestled between the bathroom and the kitchen with views over the shared garden. This bedroom demonstrates the flexibility of the property as it would double up well as a home office, nursery or for anything else the purchaser may require.
Unlike many flats in the surrounding area, this flat boasts a separate dining room which opens onto the recently refurbished kitchen. The kitchen provides a multitude of storage and has access to the rear shared garden. Completing the property and also refurbished in the last year, a modern family bathroom. Last but not least the property has the added selling point of a private garage that offers off street parking options. The apartment is a great opportunity for a purchaser; the total internal floor space is similar to period houses with considerably higher asking prices in the immediate vicinity.
Queenswood Court is a popular period mansion block, much cherished by current residents, who enjoy use of the well-maintained, shared garden, a peaceful and leafy spot in which to relax and catch some rays. The building enjoys a real sense of community, with regular BBQs and summer picnics in the garden and a thriving residents’ group that has created a fantastic neighbourly spirit amongst the residents over the years. The bars and restaurants of Acre Lane are a short walk and within a fifteen-minute stroll down the road is everything that Brixton has to offer, from music venues and the extremely popular Brixton Village to large brand shops and cracking transport links. The vibrant and diverse Clapham High Street is a thirteen-minute walk in the other direction, offering great nightlife and culinary delights. Potential purchasers will benefit from both the Northern Line (Clapham North, Clapham Common and Clapham South tube stations) and the Victoria Line (Brixton tube station). The rolling green spaces of Brockwell Park and its iconic 1930s Lido also within easy reach. There are few properties in the area that have as many positive attributes, from the style, size, secure parking options, and the proximity to all the action the area has to offer.
