Large, characterful two-bed flat near Tooting Bec Common and Balham transport links.
Circa 950 sq ft split-level period apartment
A well-proportioned split-level period apartment offering characterful living over two floors. The bright bay-fronted reception, high ceilings and vaulted kitchen with exposed beams create instant appeal and generous social space for entertaining. The upper loft room with en‑suite adds flexible accommodation that can serve as a second bedroom, guest space or home office.
Practical strengths include circa 950 sq ft of internal space, two bathrooms, built-in bedroom storage and a long lease (share of freehold with about 101 years remaining). The location is a major draw — moments from Tooting Bec Common and an easy walk to Balham tube and Streatham Hill connections, plus local cafés, shops and strong schools nearby.
Be candid about a few trade-offs: there is no private garden, the plan is irregular (triangular) which may affect furniture layouts, and the building’s solid brick construction suggests limited wall insulation unless improved. The home's EPC is E, so buyers should budget for potential energy upgrades if efficiency is a priority.
Overall this flat suits a first-time buyer or small household seeking a characterful, well-located home with flexible space and long-term ownership security via share of freehold. Investors will note good rental potential given the size, two bathrooms and proximity to transport and amenities, though consider potential works to improve energy performance.
