Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This home in a quiet neighbourhood has everything you'd expect from a classic English townhouse. The walled garden with climbing roses is a tranquil place to enjoy alfresco meals, while the cosy living room with a fireplace and the dining room overlooking the garden both offer shelter on days with more typical English weather. From this location, you can walk to the green parks, diverse restaurants, and buzzing music venues of both Clapham and Brixton – or head further into Central London with a stop at Battersea Power Station.
