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
A beautifully presented and endearingly characterful two bedroom garden flat, occupying the ground floor of a handsome Victorian end-of-terrace house on a perfectly located 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.
This charming flat boasts a tranquil and low maintenance, South-facing private garden with convenient side access, ideal for cherishing the warmer months of the year with all-day sunshine. The outside space, with its mature foliage, is accessed via the recently fitted stylish kitchen, complete with integrated appliances including a wine fridge, attractive shaker-style units and fantastic storage space. The separate reception room sits at the front of the home, flooded with light through a large and characterful bay-window, teamed with high ceilings that contribute to the light and airy atmosphere throughout. A feature fireplace and corniced ceilings add to the charming period character of the flat.
The larger of the two bedrooms is peacefully positioned overlooking the rear garden, separated from the second bedroom by a beautifully tiled, family-sized bathroom. The second bedroom is still a functional double but can easily be repurposed, as demonstrated by the current owners.
Furthermore, this brilliant property also has a utility room on the lower ground floor. With the flexibility of the second room, the utility room, the private outside space, the thoughtfully utilised square footage and the location, this property will certainly appeal to a wide range of purchasers.
The restaurants and coffee shops 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 fantastic nightlife and culinary delights. A similar distance 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.
