Summary - Balham High Road, London, London, SW17 SW17 7BG
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Compact Victorian conversion with communal garden and excellent transport links.
Top-floor one-bedroom, approximately 400 sq ft
This top-floor one-bedroom apartment in a Victorian conversion on Balham High Road offers a bright, well-presented home ready to move into. At around 400 sq ft the open-plan living room and contemporary kitchen make efficient use of space, while the double bedroom includes a built-in wardrobe. Communal gardens at the rear and high ceilings in parts of the building add period charm and outdoor space uncommon for city flats.
The flat is chain free with a long lease (approx. 148 years) and a below-average service charge (£450), making it a straightforward purchase for a first-time buyer or investor. Transport links and local amenities are excellent: Balham station, frequent buses and a wide range of shops, cafes and leisure facilities are all close by. Tooting Common is only a few moments away for weekend walks and green space.
Buyers should note the apartment is small (circa 400 sq ft) which limits storage and furniture layouts. The building’s solid brick construction dates from before 1900 and is assumed to have no cavity insulation; the glazing is double but the install date is unknown, so upgrading insulation or windows could be considered to improve comfort and running costs. Council tax band is not provided.
Overall this is a compact, well-located flat with character and sensible running costs, suited to someone seeking a manageable central London home or a rental investment with strong local demand.
