Set on the ground floor of a striking Victorian conversion on the Heaver Estate, this unusually large two-bedroom flat offers over 1,145 sq ft of living space and a private garden — rare for a flat in central Balham. High ceilings, period bay windows and a generous reception room give the apartment strong character and comfortable, flexible living space for a couple or small family.
The layout includes a modern kitchen, one bathroom and a useful cellar with space for appliances and storage. The property is sold with a share of the freehold, and the building benefits from an energy rating of C. Good transport links (Balham Underground and mainline) and local amenities are within easy reach, while several well-regarded primary and secondary schools are close by.
Practical considerations include a community heating scheme and solid-brick walls likely lacking insulation — there is scope and potential value in improving thermal performance and updating where desired. The flat is also single-bathroom and on the ground floor, which may influence some buyers. Overall this is a spacious, characterful home with garden access and clear potential for cosmetic or energy-efficiency upgrades.
