Lavender Gardens, London, SW11

This spacious, bright and airy, top-floor, two double bedroom apartment with large, light reception room and well-equipped kitchen/breakfast room occupies the top floors of an impressive, double-fronted, Victorian building. Located on a prestigious street just yards from Clapham Common, a quarter mile from Clapham Junction station and with a huge variety of specialist shops, bars and restaurants on its doorstep.

The flat is attractively decorated in neutral tones throughout. The beautiful reception room has stripped and varnished floorboards, windows on three sides and a wall of built-in display shelves and cupboards. The kitchen is well-equppied and fitted and has ample space for a good dining table. Both bedrooms are good doubles and there is a shower over the bath.

Lavender Gardens is a handsome street made up of substantial, well-maintained Victorian properties and named after the huge fields of lavender that were here before the Victorians began building. This property is right at the end by Clapham Common, which has beautiful green spaces and good recreational facilities, including tennis courts, cricket nets, football pitches and work-out areas. The flat’s position is exceptionally convenient for transport from Clapham Junction mainline station with Clapham Common Northern Line tube station a little further away and numerous bus routes close by. Nearby Northcote Road, Lavender Hill, St John’s Road and Battersea Rise between them boast a wonderful array of wining, dining and shopping options.

The property has a share of the freehold and is offered with no forward chain.
