occupying the upper floors of a celebrated clapham landmark, this beautifully arranged four-bedroom apartment is defined by its generous interiors, a rare roof terrace and far-reaching views across clapham common. the property is set within a striking mid-19th-century terrace designed by j.t. knowles in 1860. distinguished by its grey brick façade, stucco dressings and french renaissance-style pavilion roofs, the building is a local architectural icon, known for its tall arched windows, intricate ironwork and beautifully preserved character.
the apartment unfolds across three levels, crowned by a private roof terrace with uninterrupted views across the treetops. interiors have been redecorated in a calm, neutral palette of white walls and pale wood flooring, creating a sense of lightness and space. every window frames greenery, allowing the surrounding landscape to take centre stage.
the first floor is dedicated to entertaining. a shaker-style kitchen in a soft blue hue sits to the rear, with ample space for casual dining as well as a central island. this leads through to a more formal dining room, and then into a generous sitting room at the front of the plan. here, tall sash windows overlook the common, and a gas fire is set within a traditional surround. a separate study or fourth bedroom sits quietly to the rear of this level, offering flexibility for home working or occasional guests.
on the second floor, the principal bedroom suite is particularly impressive, with a fireplace, walk-in dressing area and a large ensuite bathroom with twin basins. there are two further double bedrooms on this level, one with its own en suite and the other served by a family bathroom on the landing.
above, a spacious conservatory with far-reaching views is the perfect setting for a gym, yoga studio or spa. a utility room sits neatly behind this space, while a spiral staircase leads to a large private roof terrace. with its elevated position and open outlook, the terrace offers a rare sense of seclusion and scale, perfect for morning coffee or evening drinks beneath the sky.
the apartment includes private parking, a rare advantage in this part of clapham. positioned directly opposite clapham common, the apartment is ideally located to enjoy the best of this much-loved neighbourhood with all its wonderful amenities. clapham old town is moments away, with its leafy streets, popular pubs and thriving restaurant scene. clapham high street and clapham common underground station are also close at hand, offering quick links into central london. the common itself offers a daily dose of greenery, with tennis courts, running paths and open lawns on the doorstep, making this a perfect home for those who value both character and connection.
