Large communal garden with gated access to Wandsworth Common.
Top-floor two-bedroom Victorian conversion, bright rooms and wood floors
Set on a desirable Balham road, this top-floor two-bedroom flat occupies a handsome Victorian conversion with generous natural light and wood floors. The sitting room and contemporary kitchen/dining area suit everyday living and entertaining, while two double bedrooms and a modern bathroom complete comfortable accommodation across about 653 sq ft.
A standout benefit is the large communal garden with gated access onto Wandsworth Common, ideal for easy outdoor time and for families. Transport links are excellent: Balham station (Northern line and Overground) and direct trains to Victoria/Waterloo are within walking distance, and local schools and high-street amenities are nearby.
Important cautions are stated plainly. The lease has about 67 years remaining; some mortgage lenders may refuse to lend and refinancing or purchase could require specialist advice. The building is Victorian with timber-frame walls assumed to have no insulation, and double glazing has an unknown install date—these points may mean future maintenance or energy upgrades.
Practical running costs are reasonable: a below-average service charge of around £600 and affordable council tax. Crime levels are above average for the area; buyers should satisfy themselves on local safety and security measures. This flat will suit buyers who value location, period character and outside space but who are prepared to address lease and potential retrofit works.
