Clapham Road, London SW9

This distinguished three-bedroom apartment lies on the lower ground floor of a smart Victorian building in Stockwell, south-west London. An open-plan kitchen and living space is filled with light from a box bay window, while a bedroom at the rear opens onto a private terrace with communal gardens beyond. The shops, bars and restaurants of Stockwell, Clapham and Brixton are all within easy reach.



The Tour



A short flight of steps descend to this apartment’s private entrance. Inside, a bright hallway leads to an expansive open-plan kitchen and living space, illuminated by a wide box bay window. A white metro-tiled splashback complements neat cabinetry with oak worktops, and there is a butler sink, a Bosch electric oven and a gas hob.



The principal bedroom has a box bay window and natural seagrass carpeting, and would also be suitable as a sitting room. Next door to this room is a smaller space that would suit use as a walk-in wardrobe. There are two additional bedrooms: one would make for a delightful study and has a glazed door to the private terrace.



The plan is completed by a bathroom with a bathtub and a separate shower room.
