Property details

Keating Estates are proud to present to market this phenomenal apartment, residing within a secure gated Grade II-listed Victorian school conversion complete with allocated off-street parking, secure bike racks and an on-site gym and sauna. This spectacularly unique apartment currently has one double bedroom, however there is the potential to convert the mezzanine into a second bedroom. Beta Place 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.

With great proportions and a lovely sense of light and space, this marvelous home has been well cared for by the current owners who have lovingly renovated the striking parquet floor, the well-finished kitchen and the tremendous windows, creating a quiet setting with lower cost energy bills. Magnificently spacious, the apartment boasts proportions of over 950 square feet of internal living space and offers beautiful leafy views over the rooftops toward Central London.

Forming the hub of the home, the open-plan reception is grand yet welcoming, with impressive double height ceilings with a mezzanine above. With modern parquet flooring, significant room to lounge, dine and cook plus large sash windows amplifying the feeling of space this is a beautifully light and airy space perfect for retreating away from the bustle of the city. Stylish green kitchen units, fresh white worktops and the wonderful period character of the original school brickwork create a rustic yet contemporary feel whilst providing everything you need in terms of practicality, with integrated appliances, plenty of storage and a breakfast bar for a sociably casual dining option. Generous proportions allow for a large dining table in addition, enjoy a tasty meal whilst relishing views from the light-drenching windows. A convenient WC and a large under-stair storage cupboard complete this level of the property.

Upstairs, the mezzanine boasts wooden flooring, lovely views and versatility - currently utilised as a home office, secondary lounge area and home gym, there is the potential for the new purchaser to repurpose this space into a second bedroom should they require, as others in the building have done in the past and subject to the necessary permissions.

The principal bedroom is spacious and tastefully yet neutrally decorated, benefitting from large fitted wardrobes, a peaceful and private room owing to the elevated position with natural light pouring through the large windows, a truly calming space in which to unwind at the end of the day. Completing the interior of this stunning apartment is the large contemporary bathroom, equipped with a bathtub and separate walk-in rain shower finished with a heated towel rail.

Of further benefit within this charming converted school building is an allocated off-street parking space within the gates of this pet-friendly development which also boasts extensive communal gardens, a nighbourly atmosphere and an on-site gym and sauna, ideal for keeping your body looking and feeling as good as your new apartment!

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. A ten-minute stroll in the other direction is the start of the Victoria Line at Brixton tube station and the heart of Brixton's cultural hub, including The Upstairs private members club, the culinary delights of Brixton Village, Windrush Square, The Ritzy and POP Brixton. The green open spaces of both Clapham Common and Brockwell Park with its famous Lido, are also close-by.

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.
