Summary - Fountain Road, SW17 SW17 0HH
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Roomy one-bedroom with private garden and large basement, chain free.
Large 987 sqft split-level one-bedroom flat with period features
This spacious one-bedroom period conversion on Fountain Road offers unusually generous proportions for a single-bedroom flat — nearly 987 sqft across a split-level layout. The principal reception is bright and elegant with high Victorian ceilings, original cornicing and a decorative fireplace, while a modern kitchen and sleek bathroom complete the main floor. Chain free with a share of freehold, it suits buyers seeking a roomy first home or a long-term investment in Tooting.
A standout feature is the large, fully lit and heated basement: useful as a studio, home gym, cinema or storage. Important note — the basement is not designated as habitable living space and cannot be counted as formal bedrooms under planning rules. The double bedroom opens directly onto a private rear garden, providing rare outdoor space for central London flats and a clear asset for entertaining or relaxation.
Be realistic about the upgrade requirements: the building dates from 1900–1929, walls are assumed to be solid brick with no insulation, and windows are secondary glazed. These fabric and thermal issues may require investment to improve comfort and running costs. Also note the property is located in an area with very high recorded crime rates; buyers should consider security measures and local research before committing.
Location is a practical draw: Tooting Broadway Underground and local rail are within easy reach, plus St George’s Hospital, markets, cafés and green space at Tooting Bec Common. For buyers wanting space, character and outside access in a well-connected south London neighbourhood, this flat presents a flexible layout with clear potential, provided you accept the non-habitable basement and likely retrofit work.
