Large Victorian terraced house with high ceilings and strong extension potential near Balham station..

Three reception rooms plus cellar — flexible living spaces
Generous rear garden; small plot overall
Good scope for loft conversion and rear extension (subject to planning)
Needs full modernisation; cosmetic and likely structural updating required
Solid brick walls with little insulation assumed; double glazing installed
High local crime level; council tax noted as expensive
Excellent transport links — short walk to Balham station and local amenities
Set on a desirable Balham street, this Victorian mid-terrace offers substantial living space (approx. 2,014 sq ft) across multiple floors with high ceilings, bay windows and original period detailing. It currently requires modernisation throughout, making it ideal for a buyer wanting to add value via internal refurbishment, a loft conversion and rear extension (subject to planning).
The house includes four bedrooms, three reception rooms, two bathrooms and a cellar, plus a generous rear garden that benefits from a south/south-west aspect (typical for the area). Its close walk to Balham station, local shops, eateries and the Common positions the property well for family life or rental demand from local professionals.
Key practical points are clear: the building is solid-brick Victorian with double glazing added after 2002 but likely little wall insulation. Heating is mains gas boiler and radiators. Council tax is high and the area records elevated crime levels — both important factors for budgeting and insurance. The plot is relatively small, so garden improvements will be modest in scale.
For families or investors prepared to undertake works, this home offers strong upside through layout reconfiguration and permitted development for loft/extension. Nearby schools include several rated Good or Outstanding and the street sits in an inner-city cosmopolitan neighbourhood popular with young professionals and families.
