Cornford Grove, SW12

Keating Estates are proud to present to market an exceptional two double bedroom, two bathroom apartment with a beautifully landscaped South-West facing garden and the rare benefit of off-street parking, set within an elegant semi-detached Victorian conversion on the desirable Cornford Grove in Balham.

Offering over 1,000 square feet of internal space, this stylish and spacious home in a tranquil yet well-connected location is sure to appeal.

The pièce de résistance is the remarkably bright and expansive open-plan reception, measuring over seven metres in length and featuring underfloor heating. Flooded with natural light from multiple skylights and a wall of folding glass doors, this stunning room enjoys a sunny South-Westerly aspect and a private outlook, rarely found in a London apartment. A spacious lounge area sits beneath a striking overhead lightwell, creating a serene spot to relax whilst enjoying views onto the garden. Contemporary light grey flooring flows seamlessly through the space, unifying the large living and dining zones. The stylish kitchen wraps elegantly around the room, providing an abundance of storage and finished in tasteful grey shaker-style cabinetry, topped with complementary worktops. Thoughtfully designed to maximise both form and function, the kitchen includes a sociable central island, perfect for entertaining, and is equipped with a brand-new fridge and dishwasher. There is ample space for a substantial dining table, ideal for hosting family and friends in effortless style.

Glass doors provide a seamless transition directly into a beautifully landscaped private garden, enjoying a sought-after South-West orientation, relishing sunshine from late morning through to sunset. This peaceful haven is framed by raised beds contained within attractive white walls, adding definition and contrasting beautifully against the surrounding greenery. A central paved terrace offers the perfect space for outdoor dining and lounging, while raised steps lead to an elevated area, ideal for summer barbecues.

Both bedrooms are generous doubles, both benefitting from above average floor to ceiling height. The principal suite is a standout – wonderfully spacious and bathed in natural light via a large bay window dressed with elegant plantation shutters. A striking teal feature wall, plush carpeting, copious fitted wardrobes and a contemporary en-suite shower room complete the luxurious feel. Still a genuine double, the second bedroom also enjoys fitted wardrobes and similarly tasteful decoration in neutral tones creating a tranquil ambience. Conveniently positioned between the bedrooms and reception space is the main bathroom – a luxurious sanctuary, complete with a bathtub and overhead rain shower, double vanity sinks set beneath a wide mirror, and useful fitted shelving and cabinetry, finished with underfloor heating ensuring toasty toes all year round.

The cherry on the cake is the fact that the home is set back from the street by a pretty front garden, not only increasing the kerb appeal but also providing the rarity of a driveway with off-street parking.

Cornford Grove is a warm and welcoming community, where neighbours enjoy a friendly and inclusive atmosphere, often coming together for street gatherings and social events. Residents benefit from the peaceful charm of the street while being just a short stroll from the vibrant heart of Balham. Located less than five minutes’ walk from the green open spaces of Tooting Common, and just six minutes on foot to Balham Station (Northern Line and National Rail), the property offers easy access to both Central London and the wide-ranging amenities of Balham High Road, including popular cafés, restaurants, supermarkets, and boutique shops.

This outstanding home is the perfect balance of indoor and outdoor living, privacy and sociability, period elegance and modern comfort.
