Set across three floors, this five-bedroom Victorian house on Fernlea Road is built for family life and flexible living. Period features — a large front bay, cornicing, a feature fireplace and wooden floors — give the principal rooms character and natural light, while the extended kitchen/family room with skylights and patio doors opens onto a south-facing garden ideal for children and entertaining.
The layout works well for modern family routines: separate reception and dining rooms provide formal and informal space, while two bathrooms plus two WCs help with busy mornings. The loft level already provides two further bedrooms and a shower room, with eaves storage adding useful stowage. Balham underground and overground stations are a short walk away, and local schools and parks are within easy reach.
Buyers should note the property sits on a relatively small inner-London plot and the external walls are original solid brick with no assumed cavity insulation, which may mean further insulation or energy-efficiency works are required. Council Tax is in Band F, so running costs will be higher than average. While well presented, the house offers clear potential to modernise or adapt (loft/extension potential subject to consents) to increase living space and value.
Overall this is a characterful family home in a sought-after SW12 location — ready to occupy now, with sensible scope for improvement for a growing household or an investor targeting family lets.
