This substantial Victorian mid-terrace offers 963 sq ft of flexible living across multiple floors, currently configured as two bedrooms, two reception rooms and two bathrooms. The property is freehold and sits on a small private garden, with clear potential to reconfigure internal space or add loft/rear extensions as nearby houses have done.
Located a six-minute walk from Balham station and minutes from Wandsworth Common, the house benefits from excellent transport links, fast broadband and strong mobile signal — attractive to commute-focused professionals and growing families. The local area is very affluent, crime is low, and several well-regarded primary and secondary schools are within easy reach.
The home retains period character such as a fireplace, high ceilings and a brick façade, but it requires modernization. The solid-brick walls likely lack insulation, the double glazing is pre-2002, and the interior would benefit from updating to improve energy performance. Council tax is expensive, and the small plot limits garden expansion without structural changes.
For buyers seeking a project with clear upside, this house offers immediate liveability plus scope to add significant value through thoughtful extensions and refurbishment. Investors or owner-occupiers willing to modernize will find this a well-located property with strong long-term potential.
