From Victorian terraces to the grandest of Edwardian homes, this part of London is renowned for its vast array of period properties.

Large family houses are plentiful in both Streatham and Telford Park, while central Balham is instantly recognisable by its abundance of beautiful red brick homes.

But the apartment I would like to showcase this month is something of an anomaly for this area ­ a spacious warehouse conversion. Located close to the vibrant heart of bohemian Brixton, as well as the modish restaurants and delis of Abbeville Village, this incredibly airy four bedroomed flat offers Shoreditch-style chic just a stone's throw from Clapham. Originally a bakery, this achingly stylish property was home to a photographer before appearing as Julia Roberts' apartment in the film Closer ­ and with its unusual porcelain- tiled walls, soaring vaulted ceilings and immense sense of space, it's clear to see why it caught Hollywood's eye.

Original features such as cast iron radiators, wood beams and exposed brickwork combine with such contemporary luxuries as a handmade stone bathtub, twin walk-in showers, Italian Alessi fittings and Lutron lighting to create a unique décor that exudes a quirky yet elegant charm. With such a striking design and wonderfully capacious rooms, this apartment is simply breathtaking and is sure to leave a discerning buyer star-struck by its eclectic beauty soon. Foxtons.co.uk/158576 This one bedroomed third floor apartment is located in a modern development with off- street parking and went under offer around six weeks after coming onto the market, selling for 305,000 ­ a great price for the area. We recently sold this stylish three bedroomed apartment located in a modern development ­ it was on the market with multiple agents but, after moving to sealed bids, we exchanged contracts for 220,000.
