Summary - STREATHBOURNE ROAD LONDON SW17 SW17 8RA
6 bed 2 bath Semi-Detached
Spacious period family house with large rear garden and extension potential.
Rare six-bedroom Victorian family house on Heaver Estate road
A substantial late‑Victorian six-bedroom family house on a sought-after Heaver Estate road, offering generous room sizes and an elongated rear garden. The house retains attractive period character — high ceilings, bay windows and original detailing — and presents a clear opportunity for modernisation and extension (subject to planning). Its size and layout suit a growing family or multi-generational living, with multiple reception rooms, conservatory and a long lawned garden for outdoor use.
Practical features include double glazing, mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, and convenient transport links: Tooting Bec Underground is a short walk and Balham stations are nearby. Local schools rate highly and the property lies close to Tooting Commons and Balham’s shops, cafés and bars, making everyday life easy for families.
Notable points to consider: the house was built before 1900 with solid brick walls (insulation not evident) and an EPC rated E; it will likely benefit from insulation upgrades and general modernisation to meet contemporary energy standards. Council tax is high (Band G), and the area indicators show pockets of deprivation despite strong local amenities — practical costs and potential renovation works should be factored into any purchase.
Overall this is a rare freehold offering with strong family appeal and clear scope to add value through sympathetic updating and possible lateral or rear extension, subject to consents. Viewings are recommended for buyers prioritising space, period character and long‑term potential in a well‑connected south London location.
