A handsome Victorian mid-terrace on the Heaver Estate, this substantial five-bedroom house provides generous family accommodation across approximately 2,395 sq ft. The property keeps strong period character — high ceilings, cornicing, bay windows and feature fireplaces — while the extended kitchen/family room delivers a bright, more contemporary hub with a roof lantern and large island. The west-facing garden of over 50ft is private and well planted, ideal for afternoon and evening sun.
Accommodation is arranged over lower-ground, ground, first and second floors. The double reception and raised dining area lead naturally to the extended kitchen-family room and the rear garden. Five double bedrooms split across the upper floors are well proportioned; two bathrooms serve the household. A cellar and a generous loft provide storage and scope to create more living space, subject to consents.
Practical points are clear: the house is freehold and in a popular Balham location with fast transport links, good schools and nearby open space at Tooting Bec Common. The property appears well maintained externally but does require some internal modernisation and energy improvements (EPC E) to maximise comfort and running costs. Council tax sits in a high band. Buyers should note the solid, uninsulated brick walls (assumed) and that any loft conversion or structural changes will need the usual planning and building approvals.
This home will suit growing families who need space, buyers seeking period character with scope to add value, or investors aiming for quality long-term rental stock. The combination of large rooms, cellar and loft potential, and a private 50ft garden make this a rare, practical family terrace in central Balham.
