This well-presented two-double-bedroom apartment sits on Ritherdon Road in Balham’s sought-after Heaver Estate, offering bright, airy rooms and period character. The large reception room with high ceilings and a bay window creates an impressive living space for relaxing or entertaining, while a separate kitchen keeps cooking activity distinct from the main living area.
The flat is chain free and sold as a share of freehold, a practical benefit for buyers seeking straightforward ownership. At around 730 sq ft the layout feels generous for a two-bedroom home; the property benefits from fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and low local crime — good practical advantages for professional buyers and young families.
There are some physical and practical considerations to note. The building dates from the early 1900s and has solid brick walls with assumed no insulation, so energy efficiency is likely below modern standards and upgrades (insulation, glazing, heating tweaks) could be needed to reduce bills. The apartment has a single bathroom, and council tax information is not provided. These are common issues in period properties but important for budgeting.
Location is a key strength: you’re a short walk from Tooting Bec Common, local schools rated well, and strong transport links, which suit commuting and family life. For buyers wanting period charm, space and a convenient Balham address with clear potential to modernise, this is a compelling option.
