Ritherdon Road, SW17

Keating Estates are delighted to present to market a stylish one bedroom apartment with the only direct access to a large residents’ garden, set on the highly regarded Ritherdon Road within the Heaver Estate Conservation Area, ideally positioned a short stroll from the Northern Line and the amenities of both Tooting Bec and Balham.

The heart of the home is the impressive reception room, peacefully arranged to the rear and characterised by striking lofty ceilings crowned with a large skylight. Natural light pours in via floor-to-ceiling glazing and a glass door which opens directly onto the garden, creating a wonderfully airy and inviting atmosphere. Engineered wooden flooring in warming tones flows seamlessly through the space, guiding you into a designated dining area. Set against an attractive exposed brick wall, this versatile zone is ideal for entertaining, equally well-suited as a generous home-working area if desired.

The dining area wraps around to the contemporary kitchen, a thoughtfully designed space that maximises storage with sleek white cabinetry and neatly integrated appliances including a wine fridge. A waterfall worktop reinforces the crisp aesthetic, complemented by a stylish herringbone splashback. The sink is positioned beneath a window overlooking the garden, adding to the pleasant outlook while cooking.

The bedroom is also quietly located to the rear of the property. Presented in soothing neutral tones, the room benefits from cosy carpeting, lofty ceilings and ample space for wardrobes and traditional bedroom furnishings. The bathroom continues the refined presentation found throughout the apartment, featuring a bathtub with an overhead rainfall shower and tasteful finishes. A useful storage cupboard in the entrance hall completes the internal accommodation.

One of the standout features of this home is the generous residents’ garden, to which this apartment enjoys unique direct access, being the only flat within the building to do so. A paved patio sits immediately outside the reception room, leading up to a raised lawn bordered by mature shrubs that provide a lush green backdrop and a welcome sense of privacy from surrounding properties. This tranquil outdoor space is ideal for summer barbecues, quiet afternoons with a book or sociable moments with neighbours.

Ritherdon Road is one of the area’s most sought-after addresses, forming part of the Heaver Estate Conservation Area and renowned for its attractive period architecture. The Northern Line at Tooting Bec is within easy walking distance, providing swift connections into the City and West End, while Balham station offers additional mainline and Underground services. The vibrant high streets of Tooting Bec and Balham are both close at hand, offering an excellent selection of cafés, restaurants, independent shops and everyday amenities. Green open spaces are also plentiful, with Tooting Bec Common nearby, perfect for weekend walks and outdoor pursuits. This charming apartment will appeal to first-time buyers and those seeking a well-located London pied-à-terre.
