Characterful one-bed with communal garden, minutes from commons and transport links.
Compact one-bedroom first-floor Victorian conversion, circa 335 sq ft
A bright one-bedroom first-floor Victorian conversion offering compact, well-presented living in a highly sought Balham location. High ceilings and period features give plenty of character, while large communal garden access extends the living space outdoors.
At around 335 sq ft this home suits first-time buyers or couples seeking a well-located pied-à-terre rather than buyers needing large rooms. The property is sold as a share of freehold, reducing some long-term lease concerns, and benefits from excellent transport links to tube and rail and easy access to Tooting Bec and Wandsworth Commons.
Practical points: the building has solid brick walls with no assumed cavity insulation and glazing details are not defined, which could mean higher heating costs or upgrade work for improved efficiency. The flat is described as superbly presented, but its small overall size limits storage and extensive reconfiguration is constrained by the traditional layout.
Nearby schools include several well-rated primaries and secondaries, making the address attractive to families starting out. Fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and low local crime add to the day-to-day convenience of city living in this inner-city, highly qualified neighbourhood.
