This bright one-bedroom apartment on Bedford Hill is a tidy, move-in ready home ideal for first-time buyers or couples seeking easy access to Balham’s amenities. Newly renovated kitchen and bathroom create a modern feel, while large windows and two balconies deliver light and outdoor space overlooking treetops and communal gardens.
Practical benefits include a dedicated off-street parking space, long lease (share of freehold) and chain-free sale, meaning minimal delay to move in. The property sits close to Balham Underground (Northern Line) and overground services, with Tooting Bec Common and local shops moments away.
The flat is modest in size (around 461 sq ft) and located on the second floor, so viewings should consider the lack of a lift and limited storage typical of smaller apartments. The building dates from the late 1970s/early 1980s and has cavity walls with partial insulation; double glazing is present but its installation date is unknown, which could affect long-term energy efficiency plans.
Overall, this apartment offers a low-maintenance urban base with sensible running costs (affordable council tax) and good local transport links. It’s a practical starter home with tasteful recent updates and clear potential for owner-occupiers wishing to personalise the space further.
