Property details

Keating Estates are proud to present to market this fantastic two bedroom apartment, residing within a secure gated Grade II-listed Victorian school conversion complete with secure bike racks and an on-site gym and sauna. Alpha House is a highly sought-after residential community peacefully tucked away within extensive grounds, close to both Clapham and Brixton centres and attracting purchasers contemplating moving to both of these in-demand areas.

This beautifully bright and spacious apartment boasts over 770 square feet, arranged over the ground and first floors. This striking home is enhanced by a stunning glass feature wall upon entry, offering an immediate sense of style and openness, with impressive double-height ceilings amplifying the feeling of space and light.

The heart of the home is the expansive open-plan reception, bathed in natural light from tremendous windows, complete with bespoke shutters which trap the heat, promoting snug winter evenings. With ample space to lounge, dine, and entertain, this stylish and airy living area is the perfect retreat from city life. Tucked neatly to the rear, the wrap-around kitchen is finished in bold yet sophisticated purple hues, offering an elegant contrast to the sleek countertops and integrated appliances. Designed with both form and function in mind, this culinary space is ideal for keen home cooks and social gatherings alike. Wooden flooring sweeps through the room, bouncing light around the space, creating a wonderful ambience.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom has fitted wardrobes and benefits from a crescent shaped Juliet balcony framing the window, adding to the home's architectural charm. The second bedroom is an inviting and tranquil space, enjoying views over the reception below and through the windows beyond. Should the purchaser desire, this bedroom can be separated off with glass, creating a more private retreat while retaining the home's open and airy ambiance. This is a versatile spot with the potential to re-purpose to suit needs, such as a home office and dressing room. The well-appointed bathroom is stylish yet neutral, featuring contemporary fittings and a rain shower over the luxurious bathtub, perfect for unwinding after a long day.

Of further benefit within this charming converted school building are extensive communal gardens, within the gates of this pet-friendly development which also boasts a neighbourly atmosphere and an on-site gym and sauna.

A unique offering for those seeking their own beautiful and private retreat, away from the hustle and bustle but close enough to both Clapham and Brixton to enjoy all the benefits that these in-demand areas have to offer. Within a ten-minute walk, you have all that Clapham has to offer from transport links that include the Northern Line at Clapham North tube station and the Overground at Clapham High Street, to the cafes and boutique stores in Clapham Old Town and Abbeville Village.

Clapham area highlights

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.
