Property details

With Clapham Common at the end of the road, this charming one double-bedroom apartment will appeal to a wide range of purchasers. Set over the first floor of a grand double-fronted Victorian townhouse, perfectly located in a sought-after residential pocket. Lavender Gardens is a desirable road nestled between the green open spaces of Clapham Common and Battersea Park. The Common is a moment’s stroll, also a short walk from Clapham Junction Station, Clapham South and Clapham Common Tube stations, the location cannot be over-stated.

Lovingly maintained by the current owner, this fantastic flat is well-presented throughout and would make the ideal stress-free first time purchase, buy-to-let or pied-a-terre. Unlike many similar period conversions, the majority of the total square footage is useable living space, as opposed to being distributed within larger hallways, resulting in spacious rooms with a bright and airy feel.

Forming the heart of the home, the open-plan reception room is bathed in natural light from large sash windows fitted with charming shutters and boasting original wooden floors and high ceilings, offering dimensions to lounge, cook and dine. The integrated kitchen provides all you will need in terms of practicality with wooden cabinetry and plentiful work surfaces.

Quietly nestled to the rear of the property, the double bedroom is neutrally decorated with built-in wardrobes whilst still allowing room for additional storage options. A peaceful space, large shuttered windows enjoying leafy views over the neighbouring gardens below. This appealing home is completed by a neutral bathroom, equipped with both shower and bath, ideal for a soak in the bubbles after stroll or game of tennis in Clapham Common.

Lavender Gardens is set within a popular residential pocket, boasting an enviable location with a generous choice of transport links and amenities within a short stroll. The property has Clapham Common at the end of the road, offering wide-open green spaces, perfect for dog walks and reconnecting with nature. The new owners will benefit from being within walking distance to the boutique shops, cafes and restaurants in Clapham Old Town and Northcote Road. The weekend market on Venn Street and the local amenities on Clapham High Street are all within a short walk. Clapham Common and Clapham South tube stations (Northern Line) are also close by. In the other direction, Clapham Junction is minutes away, offering one of London’s best Overground stations as well as plenty of shops, cafes and bars. Further transport options include the excellent local bus services and the Super Cycle Highway through Clapham providing quick and easy access to the City, West End and Canary Wharf. The area further benefits from an excellent selection of independent and state schools within close proximity.
