Nestled on the raised ground and first floors of a period mid-terrace, this three-bedroom maisonette balances original Victorian character with contemporary updates. The principal reception room features high ceilings, decorative cornicing and a period-style fireplace, while large sash windows deliver strong natural light throughout. A modern fitted kitchen and two bathrooms — including an en suite — provide practical, move-in-ready convenience for family life.
Outdoor space is rare in this area: the property includes a private south‑easterly garden, useful for children or potted gardening, though the plot is small. The layout offers flexible living and working space across two floors, with an approximate total of 1,154 sq ft giving generally good room sizes for a maisonette in SW17.
Practical positives include double glazing installed after 2002, mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — strong for homeworking or streaming. Tenure is a share of freehold, which can simplify long-term management compared with a typical leasehold.
Be candid about the fabric: the building is solid brick with no known added wall insulation (assumed), so there may be opportunities to improve energy efficiency. Local crime is reported above average for the area; buyers should consider practical security measures. Overall this is a characterful, well-presented family home in a desirable Tooting location near parks, schools and transport links.
