A bright, split-level two-bedroom maisonette offering 945 sq ft of living space in a prime Balham location. The property feels larger than most two-beds thanks to generous reception space, a very large principal bedroom and plentiful natural light from bay and street-facing windows. It is offered chain free and comes with a private off-street parking space and share of the freehold with only one other flat.
This home suits first-time buyers or investors seeking a roomy, well-located flat with immediate rental or owner-occupier appeal. The open-plan lounge/kitchen-diner delivers flexible living and entertaining space; local transport links (Balham mainline and tube) and nearby green spaces make commuting and leisure straightforward. Strong local schools add family appeal.
Practical points to note: the building dates from the early 20th century and external walls are solid brick with no known cavity insulation, so buyers should budget for potential energy-efficiency improvements. The kitchen and bathroom are functional but would benefit from updating to match the reception room’s contemporary feel if you want to maximise value. There is no significant rear garden — external space is limited to a small forecourt and the off-street parking.
Overall this is a well-proportioned, characterful two-bedroom flat in an excellent commuter location. It offers immediate use as a comfortable home or a straightforward rental opportunity, with clear scope to add value through modest modernisation and insulation improvements.
