A furnished three bedroom flat on the top two floors of Shepard House, giving you 852 sq ft of living space, a balcony of your own and Clapham Junction a short walk from the door.

The front door opens into a reception room with a wide window over the treetops and built-in cupboards along one wall. Alongside it is the kitchen, fitted with beech-fronted units, a speckled granite-effect worktop that curves out into a breakfast bar, a gas hob and tiled splashbacks over stone-effect tiled flooring. A window above the breakfast bar keeps it bright through the morning, and the door beside it opens onto the balcony, screened in obscured glass and set among the mature trees that line this part of the estate.

Beside the kitchen is a study, a room that earns its keep as a home office, a quiet corner away from the television or somewhere to keep the things a flat this size would rather not display. The staircase leads up to the three bedrooms, two of them comfortable doubles and the third a single, all neutrally decorated and carpeted, with wardrobe and drawer space already in place. The largest runs the depth of the building with windows across its width. Serving them is a fully tiled bathroom with a shower over the bath, and a separate WC beside it. Gas central heating and double glazing run throughout.

BETWEEN CLAPHAM JUNCTION AND YORK GARDENS

Clapham Junction is a short walk away, which puts Victoria about six minutes off, Waterloo nine and Gatwick Airport under half an hour, with the Overground's Mildmay and Windrush lines running west towards Richmond and east towards Shoreditch and Whitechapel. Buses leave from the estate itself: the 170 to Victoria, the 295 and C3 towards Earl's Court and Ladbroke Grove, the 344 to Liverpool Street. York Gardens and its library are at the end of the road, the independent shops and street market of Northcote Road are a walk up the hill, and Battersea Park and the river are a short bus ride to the north.
