Full Description
Keating Estates are proud to present this spacious two-double-bedroom, split-level apartment within an attractive Grade II listed, purpose-built property. Set back from the street in a popular residential pocket between Clapham and Battersea, the home benefits from transport options in every direction.
Entering on the third floor, the reception room forms the heart of the home. Flooded with natural light from large-pane windows and featuring characterful exposed floorboards, it offers comfortable space to lounge. This bright, neutral room is the perfect hub for entertaining or unwinding, complete with a handy storage cupboard beneath the stairs.
The separate kitchen, positioned at the front of the property, has a practical layout with a mix of base units and open shelving for both storage and display. A window beside the large butler sink allows natural light to stream in, providing excellent ventilation and an airy feel. The classic black-and-white chequerboard flooring adds character, while the space is equipped with an oven, hob, dishwasher and washing machine. With scope for modernisation, the kitchen presents an excellent opportunity for buyers to add their own stamp.
Also on this level is the family bathroom, fitted with a shower over the bath, ideal for both long soaks and quick morning routines.
Upstairs, the top floor houses two double bedrooms. The principal bedroom offers an airy, tranquil feel with space for wardrobes and additional furniture. The second double bedroom makes an ideal guest room, home office or child’s bedroom depending on requirements. Both rooms enjoy good natural light and a sense of privacy thanks to their elevated position.
Effingham House itself is a striking Grade II listed building with a distinctive façade and well-maintained communal areas. Set back from the street behind mature trees, it offers a sense of seclusion and calm while remaining moments from the vibrancy of Clapham and Battersea. Residents enjoy the historic charm of the property alongside the security and convenience of a purpose-built block.
The location is key. Potential purchasers will benefit from the boutique shops, cafés and restaurants of Clapham Old Town and Venn Street, plus the vibrant eateries of Wandsworth Road right on the doorstep. Clapham High Street’s amenities are within a short stroll, while the exciting bustle of Battersea Power Station is just a twenty-minute walk. The green open spaces of Battersea Park and Clapham Common are also close by.
Transport links are excellent, with options in every direction. The Overground at Wandsworth Road is just a six-minute stroll, taking you to Clapham Junction and through Canada Water to Dalston Junction. There are trains to Waterloo from Queenstown Road and to London Bridge and Victoria just three minutes further at Battersea Park. The Northern Line is accessible from Battersea Power Station, Clapham North and Clapham Common Tube Stations, with the Victoria Line at Stockwell. Coupled with excellent local bus services and the Super Cycle Highway through Clapham, there are many quick and easy routes into central London, the West End and Canary Wharf. Day and night bus links at the bottom of the road whisk you to central destinations including Covent Garden and Waterloo.
Chain-free.
