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.

Lovingly maintained by the same caring owner for the last 11 years, this inviting home boasts a bright and airy ambience, enhanced by stylish shutters throughout.
Upon entering the building, residents are welcomed by charming entrance tiling, setting the tone for the character within. The communal areas have been thoughtfully refurbished, including re-plastered walls, creating a well-kept and inviting space. Inside the apartment, a characterful staircase winds up into the home, with the staircase having been stripped, re-plastered, and freshly painted, adding to the property's well-maintained appeal.
The spacious reception room is brimming with character, featuring elegant ceilings and a charming bay window that floods the space with natural light. This delightful alcove is ideal for a study or dining area, offering versatility to suit the new owner's needs.

Fully equipped for modern living, the kitchen includes a Bosch washing machine, a brand-new Hotpoint oven (installed in January), and a fridge-freezer, all of which will be included in the sale. A thoughtfully positioned sink sits beneath the window, providing pleasant views while washing up.
Peacefully positioned to the rear of the home, the bedroom offers a tranquil retreat, complete with leafy views, cosy carpets, and a large built-in double wardrobe, ensuring ample storage. The bathroom is conveniently located in the centre of the property, neutrally presented and fitted with a large bathtub with an overhead shower.
As an added benefit, every room in the property was repainted last January, ensuring a fresh and inviting finish throughout.
