This beautifully presented Victorian mid-terrace on Childebert Road is arranged over multiple floors and extends to over 2,500 sqft — a rare, spacious layout for Balham. The house has been newly renovated while keeping period touches such as bay windows, high ceilings and exposed brick character. The ground floor flows from a double reception into a large open-plan kitchen/family space with bi-fold doors to a private garden, ideal for family living and entertaining.
Accommodation includes five double bedrooms and three bathrooms, with an impressive master suite on the first floor featuring a walk-through dressing area and ensuite. A cellar provides useful storage and the property benefits from mains gas central heating, double glazing and fast broadband and mobile signal — practical for modern family life and home working.
Important practical points: the house has a current Energy Rating of E and the original solid brick walls are assumed to have no built-in insulation, so further thermal upgrading could be needed. The rear garden and plot are modest in size, and the property is a mid-terrace in an inner-city location with average crime levels. These factors are offset by the freehold tenure, generous internal space and proximity to schools, green space and transport links.
Located between Ritherdon and Elmfield Roads, this home is close to Balham’s shops, cafés and transport (mainline and Underground) and within easy reach of Tooting Bec Common. For families seeking a large, characterful house with contemporary living spaces in a well-connected neighbourhood, this property offers strong long-term appeal with scope to improve energy performance over time.
