A spacious four-bedroom Victorian semi-detached house on a quiet Balham street, offering generous living space across approximately 1,888 sq ft. The house retains many period features—high ceilings, ornate moldings and a bay-fronted living room—giving character and immediate curb appeal. Two reception rooms and a kitchen/diner provide practical family living on the ground floor.
The south-facing garden is a notable asset for outdoor time and gardening, while the property’s freehold status and clear extension potential (STPP) present scope to add value by enlarging the footprint. Its central location is excellent for families: Balham station, Tooting Bec Common and several highly rated primary and secondary schools are within easy walking distance.
Buyers should factor in some retrofit and modernisation work. The house has solid brick walls with no built-in insulation (assumed) and secondary glazing, so heating and insulation improvements could be required to maximise comfort and reduce running costs. The plot is small and the home's footprint is currently un-extended, so any ground-floor enlargement or rear extension will need planning approval.
This property will suit a family looking for period charm, space to grow and the opportunity to add value through sympathetic updating and possible extension. It represents a rare chance to secure a substantial Victorian home on one of Balham’s sought-after streets.
