This home in Clapham Common is a classic design lover’s haven, with captivating prints and traditional features. The vintage-style living room is glamorous yet inviting, while the bonus snug area is perfect for cosy nights in. The airy kitchen boasts a breakfast bar, and an electric Aga, while the dining room, with its canopied ceiling and white drapes, is perfect for ambient evenings. During the warmer months, you can make the most of the garden with a barbecue, though the furniture could do with a lick of paint. With Clapham Common just moments away and speedy Tube links to Central London, you can easily explore the city or relax on the patio with a glass of pet nat.
