Seller's Comments
'We’ve entertained many friends in our spacious living room, we love our brilliant neighbours, the tranquil walks around the common, excellent bars, pubs and restaurants and the ease of commuting into London.
Though it's hard to bid farewell, we know the next owners will love this home just as much as we have.'
Why Live Here?
It ticks all the boxes - well decorated, and full of character, great location, local transport, large light-filled rooms and low monthly costs.
Why this Apartment/Building?
The highlight here is the prime position within this gorgeous period house. This first floor apartment offers the perfect combination for the living room with high ceilings, gorgeous period features and views towards the common.
The primary bedroom is large and at the rear of the building, with a bonus feature being double doors onto a west-facing un-demised (unofficial) flat roof where the current owners enjoy a glass of wine on a warm summers evening.
You also have a second double bedroom with small balcony, again with the generous ceiling height.
Why Choose the Area?
The most obvious feature from the name - you're on the doorstep of the green expanses of Wandsworth Common.
6-7 Minutes walk gets you to a local favourite, St Johns Hill, home to two of my local favourites, Pizza Brixton and Dan & Angel, good for breakfast through dinner, along with pubs and boutique shops - continue down the road and you're in Clapham Junction with its vibrant atmosphere and wealth of bars, restaurants and shops.
Within 10 minutes you’re at bustling Old York Road, packed with Cleavers Butchers, Bayley & Sage, Vietnamese, Thai and Megan’s Restaurants, Chango for empanadas, Konnigans for all day food and drink and my personal favourite, Frenchie’s for perfect coffee and brunch, all alongside a number of boutique shops and Wandsworth landmark the Alma pub and hotel.
Further, within 15 minutes in the opposite direction and you’re at Southside Shopping Centre, new home of Brewdog, Black Sheep Coffee, Gravity and a host of shops, great for everyday essentials without the need for a trip into central.
Transport
Wandsworth Town station (Zone 2,3 minutes to Clapham Junction, 12 to Vauxhall and 18 to Waterloo) is just 0.5 miles, 10-12 minutes walk.
Clapham Junction (Zone 2) is 15 minutes walk away, with trains whizzing you in and out of central London every few minutes.
Topping off transport is the Thames Clipper, docking just a few minutes walk from the apartment and plentiful bus routes.
