Description
An Exceptional Redevelopment Opportunity.
A rare opportunity to restore and reposition one of Clapham Old Town's most recognisable buildings.
Occupying a prominent position on The Pavement, this landmark property represents an exciting opportunity for a developer or investor to bring a long-vacant building back to life and create a scheme of real quality in the heart of Clapham Old Town. Having remained vacant for some time, the building is ready for a new chapter. Its redevelopment offers the opportunity not only to unlock the considerable potential of the site, but also to make a positive contribution to the continued enhancement of one of South West London's most established and characterful neighbourhoods. It is particularly encouraging to see the ongoing investment and improvements taking place along The Pavement, further reinforcing its appeal as one of Clapham's most desirable addresses.
THE PROPERTY
The property comprises a substantial vacant freehold building extending to approximately 4,174 sq ft, occupying a generous freehold site of approximately 497 sq m (5,355 sq ft).
Benefitting from a prominent frontage and significant redevelopment potential, the property offers an exciting opportunity to create an attractive mixed-use scheme, combining commercial accommodation at ground floor level with residential accommodation above.
The scale of the site, together with its established position within Clapham Old Town, provides an excellent foundation for an imaginative redevelopment.
PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL
The property previously benefited from planning permission (now lapsed), under reference 13/04314/FUL, for a comprehensive mixed-use redevelopment comprising:
Change of use to provide an A3 unit at ground floor and basement level, involving a single storey rear infill extension, the enlargement of existing basement, together with the installation of a new shop front and rear extract flue. The reconfiguration of the upper floors to create 2no. 2 bedroom flats, together with the erection of an additional storey incorporating to create a 2 bedroom flat.
In addition, the land to the rear may offer further development potential, providing an opportunity to explore alternative or additional ways of maximising the value of the overall site, subject to the necessary planning consents.
The previous planning permission provides a useful starting point for prospective purchasers, although any future proposals will be subject to securing the appropriate planning approvals.
LOCATION
The property occupies an excellent position on The Pavement, in the heart of Clapham Old Town, an established and highly regarded destination characterised by its attractive mix of independent retailers, restaurants, cafés, bars and residential properties.
The area has continued to benefit from investment and regeneration, with The Pavement remaining at the centre of Clapham Old Town's vibrant village atmosphere.
Clapham Common Underground Station is within easy reach, providing convenient connections across London. The property is also moments from the open spaces of Clapham Common, extending to approximately 220 acres and providing an exceptional range of recreational and leisure amenities.
AN OPPORTUNITY TO SHAPE THE FUTURE OF CLAPHAM OLD TOWN
Landmark buildings help define the identity and character of an area. The opportunity to bring this prominent property back into active use represents more than simply a redevelopment project; it is an opportunity to restore an important part of Clapham Old Town's streetscape.
With continued investment transforming The Pavement and the surrounding area, the successful redevelopment of this building would make a meaningful contribution to the neighbourhood, creating a scheme that complements its surroundings and secures the building's place in Clapham's future.
For a developer or investor with vision, this is a rare opportunity to deliver a distinctive project in one of South West London's most sought-after locations.

Flood Risk
Environment Agency open data, checked around the advertised map pin for the listed acreage. Long-term risk counts flood defences; the planning map's flood zones do not. The map pin for this listing marks the postcode area rather than the exact location, so these readings describe the surrounding area. Provided by LandSale, not the listing agent, and not part of the agent's particulars. Risk varies across a holding, so verify before committing.
