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
Keating Estates are proud to present to market this magnificently charming four-bedroom, two-bathroom end of terrace Victorian townhouse complete with a south-facing garden, nestled on Santley Street, a popular residential pocket, highly sought-after for its character and proximity to both Clapham and Brixton. Just a short walk to Clapham North and Brixton tube stations and a variety of cafes, pubs and eateries.
As you approach the property, the handsome Victorian façade sets a welcoming tone, offering instant kerb appeal with its classic brickwork and decorative detailing, featuring a well-maintained front garden and beautiful arched doorway. This well-appointed home offers a blend of character and modern practicality, complete with generous proportions and ample storage, including a demised cellar and a tranquil private garden. Set back from the road with a walled front garden, the house opens into a welcoming hallway, offering an adapted open-plan layout that maximises both light and flow.
At the rear, the impressive kitchen forms the heart of the home. Extended just three years ago, this stunning space combines practicality with elegance, bathed in natural light from four Velux rooflights and wide bi-fold doors. Underfloor heating adds year-round cosiness, while sleek grey cabinetry, abundant worktops, and integrated appliances provide both function and form. A central island houses the gas hob with multiple rings and seating for casual dining. The vibrant turquoise splashback adds a playful dash of colour to the modern palette. Pocket doors connect this space to the front reception rooms, allowing the flexibility to keep the ground floor open for entertaining or to create more intimate areas.
The dining area enjoys pretty cornicing and generous space for a large table, ideal for family gatherings or dinner parties. This flows into the front reception room via a graceful archway. A bay window with sash frames invites in an abundance of light. Period details shine, from the ceiling rose to ornate cornicing, while a decorative fireplace sits as a centrepiece, flanked by bespoke shelving and cabinetry in the alcoves. This dual reception setup offers versatility for both formal entertaining and relaxed living.
Bi-folding doors from the kitchen lead out onto the private walled garden, allowing for seamless indoor-outdoor living, particularly enjoyable in the warmer months. This garden is perfect for al fresco dining, gardening, or enjoying a peaceful retreat in the open air. There’s plenty of room for outdoor furniture, planting beds, and a BBQ area, with the added benefit of gates leading out to the street, ideal for hosting or those with bikes. South-facing, the garden is a low-maintenance, secluded suntrap, perfect for whiling away the summer months hosting BBQs or soaking up the rays.
Upstairs on the first floor, the principal bedroom stretches across the full width of the property. This elegant space features two sash windows, a decorative fireplace, and a built-in storage cupboard. The en-suite shower room is finished with neutral tiling and chrome fixtures, including a heated towel rail, and benefits from a window for excellent ventilation. Also on this floor is the fourth bedroom, currently used as a dressing room, fitted with wardrobes and featuring a charming mezzanine level, creating a unique and versatile additional space. A well-appointed family bathroom and a handy storage cupboard located just outside complete the first floor.
The second floor offers two further well-proportioned double bedrooms. Bedroom two mirrors the generous proportions of the principal, with an abundance of natural light and plenty of storage potential, while bedroom three is equally inviting, ideal for guests, children, or a home office.
Full gas-fired central heating, double glazing throughout with casement windows, and significant damp-proofing installed approximately ten years ago ensure comfort and longevity. The removal of steps during the recent extension means the entire ground floor and garden are on one level, a practical and stylish feature.
Completing this wonderful home, the cellar provides a handy storage solution for all those items which are not used on a daily basis.
This quiet and neighbourly street is tucked away in a sought-after pocket forming part of the LTN, with the restaurants, bars and supermarkets of Acre Lane a short walk away. Within a ten-minute stroll is everything that Brixton has to offer, from music venues and the extremely popular Brixton Village to large brand shops and cracking transport links, first stop on the Victoria tube line. Vibrant and diverse Clapham High Street is a similar distance in the other direction, offering great nightlife, and the cafes and boutique shops within Abbeville Village, Venn Street, and Clapham Old Town are also all close by.
Purchasers will benefit from both the Victoria Line (Brixton tube station) and the Northern Line (Clapham North, Clapham Common, and Clapham South tube stations). This property also has the advantage of two wonderful green open spaces within walking distance: Clapham Common and Brockwell Park with its iconic 1930s Lido.
There are few properties in the area that have as many positive attributes, from the elegant Victorian character, extensive and adaptable living space, and sun-soaked private garden, to thoughtful modern upgrades and a location that places the best of both Brixton and Clapham on your doorstep.
