A substantial five‑bedroom Victorian family home in the highly sought Nightingale Triangle, offering 2,100 sq ft across four floors and a rare 49 ft garden. The heart of the house is the bright, open-plan kitchen/dining/family room with a large lantern skylight and bi-fold doors that open onto a deck and lawn — ideal for family life and entertaining. A large garden studio with a fitted shower room adds flexible space for guests, home office use or occasional bedroom accommodation.
Period features and generous proportions run through the house: a formal double reception with a square bay, high ceilings and bespoke storage, five double bedrooms over the upper floors and a principal suite with raised sitting area and en-suite. Practical extras include a useful cellar level fitted for storage and utilities, and built-in storage throughout that supports a busy household.
Buyers should note a few practical considerations. The property is on solid brick walls with no known cavity insulation (assumed), and the double glazing install date is unknown — both worth surveying if you prioritise energy performance. The house is sold freehold but is in Council Tax Band G, which will be relatively expensive to run. As a period terrace built before 1900, there is typical Victorian maintenance and potential to modernise certain services to personal taste.
This home suits growing families wanting space, character and a large private garden in a highly educated, cosmopolitan neighbourhood close to Balham amenities, good schools and excellent transport links. With scope for sympathetic updating, it offers long‑term potential in an affluent, well‑connected location.
