A bright, well maintained mansard apartment in the Heaver Estate conservation area, presented with neutral finishes and good natural light from front and rear roof windows. The accommodation includes a reception/dining room, a double bedroom with fitted wardrobes and eaves storage, a smart compact kitchen and a contemporary bathroom with a walk-in shower. Share of freehold gives long-term control over the building and may reduce future ground rent exposure.
The flat is compact at about 526 sq ft, which suits a single professional, first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor seeking low-maintenance living close to local shops, cafés and Tooting Bec Common. Transport links are strong with Balham and Tooting Bec stations and Northern Line access into central London, supporting rental demand or a short, commuter-friendly journey into the city.
There are some practical considerations: the property occupies the mansard/top floor and has restricted eaves spaces and sloped ceilings in places. The building’s timber-frame construction is noted as originally uninsulated (assumed), glazing install dates are unknown and the EPC is rated D — further thermal improvements may be advisable. There is no private garden or dedicated communal outdoor amenity visible; on-street parking only.
Viewing is recommended to assess ceiling heights, storage usability and to confirm communal charge levels, share of freehold arrangements and any planned building works. Overall this is a well-presented, low‑upkeep unit where location and presentation drive value rather than generous floor area.
