Summary - 36A RAMSDEN ROAD SW12 8QY
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Bright oversized one-bed near Balham amenities and transport.
Approx 892 sq ft — unusually large one-bedroom apartment
This spacious one-bedroom flat occupies the top two floors of a period building in the sought-after Nightingale Triangle, a short walk from Balham’s shops, cafés and transport connections. At around 892 sq ft it offers unusually generous proportions for a one-bedroom apartment, with high ceilings, large windows and a Juliet balcony that flood the living space with natural light.
The layout includes a double bedroom with built-in wardrobe, a bright reception room that flows into a fitted kitchen beneath an arched window, and a versatile upper-floor study—an ideal work-from-home nook with generous eaves storage. The property’s character features, such as the high ceilings and period charm, combine with modern touches including integrated kitchen appliances and double glazing.
Practical points to note: the flat is leasehold with approximately 94 years remaining and an annual ground rent of £350. The EPC rating is F, indicating poor energy efficiency—improvement work (insulation, boiler/service, possible glazing upgrades) will reduce bills and boost value. The building’s solid brick construction likely has limited cavity insulation currently.
Location is a major strength: Balham and Clapham South Tube stations are within easy reach for Northern Line and mainline services, and both Wandsworth Common and Clapham Common are nearby for outdoor space. The immediate area has a wide selection of schools, shops and amenities, making this a well-placed home for a first-time buyer seeking space and character with scope to improve energy performance and personalise the finish.
