A well‑presented one-bedroom ground-floor flat in a handsome Victorian conversion on Elmbourne Road, offered with a share of freehold and no onward chain. The layout makes sensible use of around 460 sq ft: a front bedroom with walk-in wardrobe, separate reception room and a compact kitchen that opens onto a private paved garden — a rare find for a city flat and ideal for low‑maintenance outdoor space.
Period features on the exterior and parquet flooring inside give the flat character, while recent cosmetic updates suggest a largely turn‑key finish. The location is a strong practical draw: Balham transport connections are within easy reach, Tooting Bec Common is close by, and fast broadband and excellent mobile signal suit modern working patterns.
Buyers should note the property’s small footprint and ground‑floor position — best suited to a single occupant or couple rather than a family. The building dates from the early 20th century and external walls are likely solid brick with no added insulation; the Energy Rating is D. These facts point to possible longer‑term energy upgrade work (insulation or glazing) if lower running costs are a priority.
This flat will suit a first‑time buyer or investor wanting a well‑located, characterful London property with outdoor space and straightforward access to transport and green space. The share of freehold simplifies long‑term ownership, but prospective purchasers should confirm service arrangements and any communal maintenance responsibilities before proceeding.
