This spacious ground-floor one-bedroom maisonette sits in the heart of Balham, a short walk from Balham station and local shops. With a large reception room, high ceilings and original Victorian features, the flat balances period character with flexible living space — the kitchen/breakfast room could be reconfigured to create a second bedroom if required. The property benefits from its own private entrance and access to a large south-facing shared garden, ideal for light, outdoor space in an inner-city setting.
The accommodation feels bright and airy thanks to high ceilings and large windows; the living room’s fireplace and built-in shelving add character and warmth. Practical details include mains gas heating (boiler and radiators), double glazing (install date unknown) and a footprint of about 711 sq ft, generous for a one-bedroom flat. The share-of-freehold tenure and chain-free sale simplify purchase for a quick move or investor acquisition.
Buyers should note a few material points: the building is solid brick as built with no assumed wall insulation, which may present an opportunity or need for thermal upgrades. The property dates from 1930–1949 and some modernisation or refurbishment could be required to suit exacting standards. Council tax band is not provided in the details. Overall, this maisonette offers strong location value, period charm and potential for reconfiguration — attractive to first-time buyers, couples or investors looking for a Balham address.
