Offering the ultimate London trifecta of strong transport links, thriving high streets and impressive parklands and greenery, there are few property hotspots within the capital that have seen such enduring appeal as Clapham.
With apartments consistently seeing growth* since the early 2000s, this Southwest London enclave continues to appeal to young professionals seeking the ultimate London lifestyle – with the distinctive yet linked neighbourhoods surrounding the Common offering unique identities and appeal.
Countryside Homes has launched a collection of one, two and three bedroom apartments at its Clapham Park development, which recently won a GOLD at the highly regarded What House? Awards. Nestled just a short walk from Clapham South Station, the homes enjoy easy access to the very best of village living with the convenience of quick connections across the capital and beyond.
Emily Gilchrist, Sales and Marketing Director at Countryside Homes, comments: “You name it, Clapham has it – from nightlife and markets to café culture, leisure and acres of parkland, and Clapham Park is in prime position for residents to enjoy all the area has to offer.”
“Over half of sales enquiries to date have come from those already living in the Southwest London area, looking to put down more permanent roots – once you make the move to SW4, why would you want to live anywhere else?”
Perhaps one of the most popular nearby destinations is Abbeyville Road, a mere 12 minute walk from homes at Clapham Park and nicknames by locals as ‘Abbeyville Village’ for good reason. Bakeries, butchers, gift shops and boutiques sit alongside cafes, restaurants and gastro pubs – a pleasant blend of familiar brands and proud independents. Clapham Common offers a wealth of leisure facilities and personal training camps for those willing to brave the colder climes, while independent studios and gyms within walking distance accommodate all types of training. Larger facilities such as Anytime Fitness and Virgin Active are also easily accessible from the apartments.
For young families, 13 nurseries operate in SW4 alone, all within walking distance from Clapham Park. The wide mix of high quality local schooling is also a considerable draw for the Clapham area, with community, independent and church schools within easy reach.
Part of SW4’s continued appeal is the sheer volume of transport links available to those living within the Clapham area. Clapham South (13 mins by foot or just 7 mins by bus) sits on the Northern Line, linking to London Bridge, Waterloo, Battersea Power Station and Charing Cross in less than 25 mins. Balham High Street, is just a seven minute cycle, while Brixton train station and the Victoria Line are both just 9 minutes by bike. The development also boasts ample cycle storage. Both Brixton Hill and Clapham Common Southside offer multiple and highly regular bus routes towards central London.
Countryside Homes is proud to boast a high quality finish to all homes at Clapham Park. Amtico herringbone flooring, complete with underfloor heating, sets the tone upon entry, while bedrooms are soft underfoot thanks to fully fitted carpets. Mirrored fitted wardrobes are included for all principal bedrooms. Kitchens and bathrooms are given a sleek finish thanks to high quality cabinetry, worktops and tiling. Siemens appliances are fully integrated, including oven, microwave, fridge/freezer and dishwasher, alongside washer/dryer in the cloakroom. Hyperoptic broadband and Sky Q is already fitted as standard, meaning homes are ready to be lived in from day one.
Homes at Clapham Park start from £485,000 for a one bedroom apartment, £680,000 for a two bedroom apartment and £790,000 for a three bedroom apartment.
