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 an appealing four double bedroom Victorian house with a South-East facing walled garden, set on the highly sought-after Santley Street, ideally positioned between Clapham and Brixton with an array of amenities in every direction. Arranged over three floors and complemented by a useful cellar, this attractive period home combines generous proportions, original character and a wonderfully secluded garden.
The ground floor opens into a spacious double reception room, set behind a characterful bay window with wooden shutters. Exposed wooden floorboards sweep through the space, with a feature fireplace creating an attractive focal point to the front reception, while the rear provides a comfortable dining area ideal for entertaining. To the rear, the well-appointed kitchen has a practical range of fitted units, wooden worktops, integrated hob and oven, freestanding fridge/freezer, dishwasher and washing machine. A large window provides natural light, while French doors open directly onto the garden, creating a lovely connection between the kitchen and outside space. There is also potential to extend the kitchen, subject to the necessary permissions, offering an exciting opportunity to create a larger contemporary kitchen/dining space.
Outside, the South-East facing garden is a wonderfully private and enclosed space, surrounded by attractive brick walls. Predominantly paved for ease of maintenance, it is softened by raised planting beds in which to grow greenery, creating a secluded setting for outdoor dining, entertaining or simply enjoying the sunshine.
The four double bedrooms are arranged across the first and second floors, offering excellent flexibility for families, sharers or those requiring space to work from home. The principal bedroom spans the width of the house at the front, while the second bedroom is similarly impressive, also spanning the width of the house and featuring a handsome fireplace, original floorboards and two sash windows. The two further bedrooms are also spacious doubles positioned at the rear of the property, both overlooking the garden. The first floor is completed by a full bathroom and separate WC, ideal for busy households. The main bathroom is bright and practical, featuring a white panelled bath with overhead shower and white wall tiling, all off-set against classic black-and-white chequerboard floor tiles to create a timeless yet striking finish.
Further benefits include a recently installed new boiler, along with some new windows. A cellar provides useful additional storage and is particularly handy for keeping less frequently used household items out of the main living spaces.
Santley Street is a peaceful residential road without through traffic, fostering a friendly neighbourhood feel 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.
