Summary - 12b Dornton Road SW12 9ND
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Chain-free first-floor apartment near Balham station and green space.
One double bedroom with built-in storage
This bright one-bedroom first-floor flat occupies a Victorian conversion in central Balham, offered with a share of the freehold and no onward chain. The layout makes efficient use of about 500 sq ft, with a larger-than-average double bedroom, a rear-facing living room, separate kitchen and a modern bathroom — practical for a single buyer or couple wanting a commuter base.
The location is a genuine asset: quiet residential Dornton Road sits close to Balham’s shops, cafés and transport links, with Balham mainline and Underground within easy reach and green space at Tooting Bec Common nearby. Good mobile signal and fast broadband support home working, while nearby schools include several highly rated options.
The flat is presented in generally good decorative order but does show scope for modest updating to personalise the space. The building has solid brick walls (likely without cavity insulation) and an Energy Rating of D, so further energy improvements are possible but may be needed. Council tax banding is not set; buyers should confirm costs and any shared-freehold management arrangements.
Overall this is a practical, well-located starter home or rental investment: chain-free, freehold share, and characterful period features, with straightforward potential to increase value through targeted improvements.
