Bright period flat near Balham Station and Tooting Bec Common.
Victorian conversion with high ceilings and original features
A bright one-bedroom Victorian conversion on Bedford Hill, this split-level flat combines high ceilings and original period detail with an open-plan living area. Large bay windows and good ceiling height create a spacious feel across 581 sq ft, while an off-road shared driveway adds rare central-London convenience.
The apartment is well placed for commuters and leisure: Balham Station and local bus routes are within easy reach, and Tooting Bec Common offers extensive green space. The property is offered as share of freehold, which gives long-term control over the building for owner-occupiers.
Practical considerations: the EPC is a D and the building’s timber-frame construction likely lacks modern cavity insulation, so upgrading thermal performance could reduce bills and improve comfort. The split-level layout and lower-ground bathroom might not suit those wanting a single-floor plan. Council tax is affordable and broadband and mobile signal are strong.
This home will suit a first-time buyer or professional seeking character and location with scope to add value through energy and cosmetic improvements. It’s a liveable, characterful base in a busy, well-served part of SW12 with solid long-term appeal.
