Ideal starter home moments from stations, shops and eateries.
Large open-plan living/kitchen approx 7.17m x 4.87m
Set on Bedford Hill, this bright one-bedroom apartment offers an above-average open-plan living room and a generous double bedroom with built-in storage. The contemporary fitted kitchen with island and integrated appliances, engineered wood floors and LED lighting give a ready-to-move-in feel for a first-time buyer. Secure gated parking and a C energy rating add practical appeal in a busy central location.
The property is leasehold and offered chain free, making it straightforward to purchase. At approximately 667 sq ft (62 sq m), the layout is roomy for a city apartment and works well for everyday living or a buy-to-let investor seeking a strong rental location close to Balham station and local amenities.
Buyers should note material considerations: the building is a solid-brick construction likely without cavity insulation, and the double glazing dates from before 2002—both could mean higher heating costs and potential retrofit expense. The area records very high crime levels, which may concern some purchasers and could affect insurance and personal security choices.
There is no private outdoor space shown and council tax banding is not yet set. Overall, this is a well-presented central Balham apartment that balances generous internal space and modern finishes with typical city-flat trade-offs—leasehold tenure, retrofit needs, and limited external space.
