The kitchen is equipped with integrated appliances and a smart neutral finish, complimenting the light feel of the room. There is ample space for dining as well as a cosy lounge area in front of the charming original fireplace and characterful bookshelves.

Sitting adjacent to the reception room is the first of the two bedrooms which also benefits from an abundance of light and an original fireplace. Making the most of modern working setups this first bedroom is currently being used as a home office and guest room, but can be easily repurposed to meet the needs of the new purchaser. The bedrooms are conveniently located at separate ends of the home, making it perfect for sharers or offering privacy from the occasional guest. The second double bedroom is nestled cosily to the rear of the property, quietly enjoying the morning sunlight. A tasteful, contemporary bathroom, furnished with both bath and shower, completes this lovely property, benefiting from under floor heating for toasty toes all year round.

This brighter than average middle floor apartment is perfect for a wide range of purchasers, from first-time buyers to buy-to-let investors or anyone looking for a conveniently located pied-à-terre. The low buildings of St Andrew’s Church of England Primary school next door mean that the flat benefits from uninterrupted natural light and unrivaled levels of peaceful privacy from late afternoon and on weekends.

Stockwell is within a six-minute walk and has access to both the Northern and Victoria tube lines, being the interchange of the lines, commuting is made simple. The property is within a nine-minute walk to Clapham High Street, Clapham North tube station and all that Clapham has to offer. The High Street offers a range of restaurants, bars and supermarkets.

In the other direction is Brixton (ten-minute walk) and all it has to offer with Brockwell Park and the extremely popular Brixton Village, to large brand shops and cracking transport links, first stop on the Victoria line. This is a gem of a flat that will tick boxes for a wide range of buyers.
