Set within a handsome Alfred Heaver Victorian building on the sought-after Heaver Estate, this first-floor two-bedroom flat offers classic period proportions and immediate access to Tooting Common. The layout includes two generous double bedrooms with built-in storage, a contemporary bathroom and a well-appointed modern kitchen. High ceilings and original sash windows give the living space strong character and natural light.
Practical ownership is straightforward: a long 150-year lease and a share of freehold make this an attractive purchase for buyers seeking security. Service charges are modest at £150 per month and council tax is described as affordable. Transport links are excellent with Balham and Tooting Bec Northern Line stations nearby, frequent buses and Balham overground connections for direct access across south and central London.
This property will suit buyers looking for a character-filled home close to open green space and local amenities — tennis courts, the Lido and Tooting Market are all within easy reach. The flat’s 662 sq ft is a comfortable size for couples or small families who value location and period features.
A few practical points to note: the building’s solid brick construction likely lacks cavity insulation and the double glazing is older (pre-2002), so there may be opportunities to improve thermal efficiency and reduce heating costs. There is one bathroom only and the kitchen is compact, which may not suit buyers wanting larger contemporary entertaining spaces without alteration.
