Balham is buzzing with independent boutiques, cafes, coffee shops and happening restaurants. It has a slightly more relaxed, village feel than neighbouring Clapham and Brixton, but with enough going on to satisfy everyone's interests. Transport links are excellent, with both London Underground (Northern Line) and National Rail services from Balham Station. The green, open spaces of Tooting, Clapham and Wandsworth Common are all within walking distance. Add to this a strong community spirit and some great local schools, and it's clear to see why Balham has twice been named in The Sunday Times' list of Best Places to Live!

Property details
Keating Estates are delighted to present to market a bright and spacious two double bedroom, two bathroom apartment with a private terrace, set within the award-winning Tramyard development on Balham High Road. Offering 780 square feet of contemporary living space, this third-floor apartment enjoys an enviable position with East and South-facing aspects, flooding the interiors with natural light throughout the day.
The open-plan reception room forms the heart of the home, designed with both comfort and style in mind with high ceilings adding to the airy ambience. Large windows and doors lead onto a private terrace, perfectly suited for morning coffee or al-fresco dining, while the elevated position and leafy tree directly in front provide complete privacy in spring and summer. The sleek kitchen is fitted with striking blue cabinetry, integrated appliances and ample storage, flowing seamlessly into the lounge and dining areas to create a highly sociable space, ideal for both relaxing and entertaining.
Both bedrooms are generous doubles, each with floor-to-ceiling windows and the same soothingly neutral décor as the rest of this lovely home. The principal bedroom is particularly impressive, with fitted wardrobes and a luxuriously finished en-suite. The second bedroom is a versatile room currently being utilised as a guest bedroom and generous home office, yet can easily be repurposed to suit the needs of the purchaser. Across the hall from the second bedroom is the stylish main bathroom, equipped with both shower and bath for those moments a relaxing soak in the tub is desired.
A handy cupboard in the hallway keeps household items neatly tucked away. With underfloor heating and high energy efficiency this secure apartment would make a fantastic home for the eco-conscious purchaser, reducing those pesky bills.
The building itself reflects the area’s rich history, designed to echo the site’s heritage as one of London’s last working tram depots while embracing modern, sustainable technologies in its construction. Residents benefit from a landscaped communal garden, secure bike storage and a friendly community of neighbours spanning a good mix of ages, with a genuine sense of sociability within the development.
