A substantial Edwardian semi-detached house set back behind a mature front garden in the Nightingale Triangle, moments from Clapham Common. The property offers generous natural proportions across two reception rooms, four double bedrooms and a large loft with strong potential to extend, subject to planning. Garage parking and a south-facing rear garden add practical family comforts.
The house is being sold freehold but requires renovation throughout — an opportunity to reconfigure, modernise services and add insulation to solid brick walls. There is a single family bathroom plus a separate WC and a ground-floor shower room in the utility; buyers should factor in upgrading plumbing, electrics and interior finishes. The property has double glazing added after 2002 and central heating via mains gas boiler and radiators.
Location is a key asset: excellent transport links (Clapham South, Balham and Wandsworth Common nearby), strong local schools and immediate access to Bellevue Village, Northcote Road and the amenities of Balham. The area is very affluent with a high proportion of degree-educated residents, making this attractive for buyers seeking long-term value.
Practical points to note: the house has been owner-occupied for decades and will need modernisation rather than cosmetic refresh. Crime in the local area is above average — prospective buyers may wish to investigate security measures. Viewings are recommended to appreciate room sizes, ceiling heights and the loft and garden potential in person.
