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
Split over various levels with a ground floor entrance, this spacious maisonette resides in a perfectly located, handsome converted Victorian terraced house. Set on a quiet street, in a popular residential pocket equidistant to Clapham and Brixton, appealing to purchasers looking to move to both of these two in-demand areas.
With over 1500 square feet of internal space (including the loft spaces), generous proportions throughout and boastfully high ceilings, this apartment is truly a rare gem. Large windows flood each room and create a bright and airy atmosphere throughout. The property oozes a natural Victorian charm with feature fireplaces in every room and traditionally embellished ceilings. The classic period character is offset stylishly by high-end, modern and tasteful décor throughout. The current owners have extensively refurbished and maintained the property with care, with a new slate roof, boiler, double-glazed windows; ideal for any purchasers looking to move into a new property hassle-free.
A stunning separate reception room is nestled on the first floor and spans the entire width of the building. The bay window is complemented by a window seat and allows a plethora of natural light into this large and sociable area. With plenty of space to relax and dine, the living room is perfect for anyone looking to unwind or entertain guests.
Adjacent to the reception, the modern eat-in kitchen diner provides another fantastic spot within the house to socialise. There is a contemporary breakfast bar, plenty of surface space and considerable storage. A luxurious and recently fitted family-sized bathroom is tucked away quietly at the back of the building with one of the three comfortable double bedrooms. This bedroom has views over the neighbouring gardens at the rear and a convenient coat storage area outside the bathroom.
A short trip up the staircase leads to the two additional double bedrooms at the top of the house. The larger of the two mirrors the reception room below, offering a glorious and tranquil space to rest in with views up the Victorian terraced street opposite. The third double room has traditional built-in wardrobes and one of the key selling points to this spacious maisonette is the sheer size on offer, which allows the layout to be altered depending on the new purchaser's search parameters. Last but not least there is access to two substantial loft spaces, which subject to the necessary permissions, could be converted to increase the living spaces.
The bars and restaurants of Acre Lane are a short walk and within a seven-ten minute stroll down the road, you will reach the vibrant and diverse Clapham High Street offering a vibrant nightlife and culinary delights. In the other direction, you will have everything that Brixton has to offer, from music venues and the extremely popular Brixton Village, to large brand-shops and convenient transport links. Potential purchasers will benefit from the Northern and the Victoria Line. There are few properties in the area that have as many positive attributes, from the style, size, storage and the proximity to all the action the area has to offer.
