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 truly unique studio apartment with high ceilings and nearly 800 square feet of internal living space, set within a secure gated period conversion, moments from Clapham High Street. The property benefits from access to a well-maintained shared courtyard at the front of the building. There is a real community feel within this secure development and the gated courtyard often doubles up to host BBQs in the warmer months for the residents.
One of the key selling points is the sheer size of the property. At almost 800 square feet, this studio/one-bedroom flat rivals many two and three double-bedroom properties in the surrounding area. The heart of the home is the impressive open-plan living area, ideal for entertaining, relaxing and unwinding. The modern kitchen is fully equipped with integrated appliances, plenty of storage and a sleek gloss finish. There is ample space to dine and a generous lounge area. The ceiling height is fantastic which contributes to the airy atmosphere and sense of space.
There are four timber pillars that create a natural separation between the sleeping and living areas. A creative purchaser, subject to the necessary permissions, could look to further define the two spaces, depending on their personal preferences, but it will be hard to find too many one-bedroom properties with internal dimensions that rival this spacious apartment.
Stairs lead from the sleeping area to a mezzanine level that currently acts as a home office. The walk-in wardrobe and storage area below further emphasises how flexible the current layout is, as both areas could be swapped to create a home office below and storage area above. The new owner will be able to stamp their own mark on this blank canvas and personally tailor the living space to fit their lifestyle.
Voltaire Road is ideally tucked away just behind Clapham High Street, with the Overground line and Clapham North station reachable in moments. The purchaser will be spoilt for choice when it comes to local amenities and places to dine or drink, with many popular restaurants, bars, shops, the weekend market on Venn Street, The Picture House Cinema and the services on Clapham High Street. Clapham Old Town is a short stroll and there is also an excellent choice of gyms within walking distance, as well as a swimming pool.
The local transport links are second to none. Clapham North, Clapham Common, Stockwell and Brixton tube stations (Northern and Victoria tube lines) are all close by. Clapham High Street, Wandsworth Road, Clapham Junction, Queenstown Road and Battersea Park Overground Stations are all within walking distance, coupled with excellent local bus services and the Super Cycle Highway through Clapham provides quick and easy access into the City, West End and Canary Wharf.
The green open spaces of Clapham Common and Larkhall Park are just down the road, with Abbeville Village and Brixton High Street also within walking distance when a change of scenery is required.
Chain-free.
