Bright and lovingly decorated, this Victorian family home is just as charming on the inside as it is on the outside. Add in the beautiful back garden with bright shrubs, budding trees and hedges for privacy and you have yourself the perfect setting for warm summer nights. We love how the dining room doors fling open onto the patio – follow them inside and find a thoughtfully designed white and cream home with a decidedly French feel. The open kitchen plan creates a sociable atmosphere while the bedrooms are plush, comfortable and wonderfully private with elegant chandeliers and soaking tubs. You’ll be just a fourteen-minute walk from the lovely Clapham Common and set in the heart of Abbeville Village with its bustle of shops and restaurants. Should you want to reach central London, it’s twenty minutes by car or twenty-seven by public transit.

About Clapham

Clapham has the great benefit of having plenty of greenery while being close to some great transport links to get you into central London or you can stay closer to home and explore areas like Battersea and Chelsea. Popular with young affluent families for its laid-back, friendly, unfussy vibe, open green spaces and ever-growing foodie scene, Clapham offers you the opportunity to have a local, village-feel experience, away from the hordes of tourists.
