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
We are delighted to present this split level, loft-style one bedroom apartment within a Grade II Listed, Victorian school conversion. Alpha House is a highly sought-after, gated development, equidistant to transport links in both Clapham and Brixton, both of which are easily reached within a five minute walk.
This split-level flat has stunning floor to ceiling windows, typical of school conversions, which flood the entire space with natural light, and boasts double height ceilings, striking parquet flooring, original radiators, a contemporary semi-open-plan kitchen, which all offer a sense of style, while a spacious living area offers plenty of space to relax and dine. Upstairs, the double bedroom is generous in size, benefitting from an ensuite bathroom plus a fantastic walk-in wardrobe, providing some excellent storage.
This property also benefits from a residents’ gym and sauna, beautifully manicured grounds, and the security that this peaceful, gated development provides.
The Northern and Victoria tube lines, in Clapham and Brixton respectively, are both within a short walk, making the location perfect anyone looking to be close to the action yet far enough away to retain a sense of calm. Potential purchasers will benefit from the amenities in both areas, a few examples include the green open spaces of Brockwell Park and Clapham Common and all that Clapham, Abbeville Village, and Brixton Village have to offer in terms of food and festivities. All in all, this flat is a rare find and is sure to tick boxes for many purchasers.
