This roomy ground-floor two-double-bedroom maisonette offers a rare combination of period character and practical space. At over 1,200 sq ft it feels closer to a house than a flat, with its own front door, private garden access and generous living and dining areas — ideal for a young family or professionals who value space and storage.
Set in the Telford Park Conservation Area on Sternhold Avenue, the location is a major draw: Tooting Bec Common is moments away, with Balham’s shops, restaurants and transport links a short walk. Nearby outstanding and good-rated schools make the address appealing to families, while fast broadband and strong mobile signal suit modern working-from-home needs.
The property is solidly built (Edwardian, c.1900–1929) and well presented, with period features such as a bay window and decorative brickwork. Practical details include gas central heating, double glazing and an EPC rating of C. The flat is being sold with a share of the freehold, reducing long-term leaseholder costs and giving greater control over management.
Buyers should note a few factual points: there is a single bathroom for two double bedrooms, the building has solid brick walls (insulation may be limited), and the council tax band has yet to be set. Those seeking top energy efficiency or a fully modernised fabric may want to budget for insulation or further upgrades. Overall this is a spacious, characterful home in a well-connected, family-friendly pocket of SW2.
