Description

This substantial period house presents a unique opportunity in one of Clapham Old Town's most desirable locations. Offering approximately 1,850 sq ft of accommodation, the property combines elegant period features with generous living spaces, creating a wonderful sense of scale. The home retains attractive original elements such as ornate cornicing, high ceilings, and original fireplaces, providing a characterful backdrop for modern living. Arranged over three floors, the house includes three bedrooms, a double reception room, a kitchen/breakfast room, a bathroom, and a cloakroom. The second-floor reception room is particularly impressive, benefiting from excellent natural light and spacious proportions, making it suitable for use as a principal bedroom suite or additional family space. The ground floor features a welcoming reception room at the front, a separate dining room, and a good-sized kitchen that opens onto the nearly 80ft private garden. While the property is in need of updating and modernisation, it offers a strong foundation for creating a beautiful family home. There is significant potential for extension to the rear and upwards, subject to necessary planning consents, allowing for further enhancement of the existing layout. Lillieshall Road is surrounded by attractive period housing and is conveniently located near the open spaces of Clapham Common. The vibrant cafés, restaurants, and independent shops of Clapham Old Town are within easy reach, complemented by excellent transport links into central London. This property not only offers immediate charm but also exciting possibilities for those looking to add their personal touch.

Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This substantial period house in Clapham Old Town presents a unique opportunity for renovation. With approximately 1,850 sq ft of characterful living space, the property boasts elegant proportions and original features, including high ceilings and ornate cornicing. While the interior is dated and shows signs of wear, the existing layout provides a solid foundation for creating a modern family home. The good-sized private garden is a major plus, offering outdoor space that can be enhanced with thoughtful landscaping.

However, the asking price of £1,850,000 translates to £1,000/sqf, which is significantly above the local average of £808/sqf, making it a dear investment compared to the surrounding market. There is potential for future value add through updating and possibly expanding the space, but buyers should be cautious given the limited renovation economics available. This property is a canvas for those with vision, ready to transform it into a highly individual family residence.
