Set on the first floor of a double-fronted Victorian conversion on the sought-after Heaver Estate, this two-bedroom flat combines period character with contemporary finishes. High corniced ceilings, large sash bay windows and bespoke shelving create a bright, airy reception that easily accommodates living and dining zones. The compact, modern kitchen and bathroom keep the property move-in ready.
The apartment measures approximately 617 sq ft and offers practical built-in storage and a garden frontage. Its location beside Tooting Common and within easy reach of Balham High Road, Tooting Bec Underground and Balham Overground make it an attractive option for commuters and first-time buyers seeking an urban lifestyle with green space nearby.
Important practical points are presented plainly: the lease has around 90 years remaining (share of freehold), and the current average service charge is about £2,000 per year. The property sits in a solid-brick Victorian building that likely has limited wall insulation and an EPC of C, so buyers sensitive to running costs should note potential energy-improvement work.
Overall, this well-presented conversion appeals to buyers wanting central SW17 character and convenience. It’s particularly suited to a couple or first-time purchaser who values generous reception space and period detail, and who is comfortable managing a medium-term lease and typical service costs.
