Property details

Keating Estates are delighted to present to market a smartly presented two bedroom, two bathroom apartment with access to well-maintained residents’ grounds, set within a contemporary gated development on Old Devonshire Road in the heart of Balham.

This particular apartment is favourable positioned away from the bustle of Cavendish Road to the far side of the building and offers peace of mind with high energy efficiency and a well-kept environment throughout. A new water tank and pump were installed in 2022, further enhancing the efficiency and reliability of the home.

The entrance hall is welcoming and practical, complete with two generous storage cupboards, ideal for coats and household items. New flooring installed in 2021 flows through the apartment, creating a cohesive and modern aesthetic. The heart of the home is a striking open-plan reception room extending over six metres in length. Two large windows bathe the lounge area with natural light, creating an inviting setting for both relaxing and entertaining. To the rear, a contemporary kitchen wraps around in a sociable horseshoe shape, offering plentiful storage and extensive worktops, with integrated appliances including a dishwasher and full-size fridge-freezer. The cabinetry neatly frames a freestanding island and dining area, making this an ideal space for hosting.

Both bedrooms are neutrally presented with warmly toned flooring underfoot, each offering ample space for wardrobes and additional furnishings. The principal bedroom enjoys the added luxury of a stylish en-suite shower room. The main bathroom is equally well-appointed, featuring a rain shower over the bathtub. Both bathrooms are finished in crisp white tiles with contrasting black fittings, elevated by deep blue paintwork.

Residents benefit from access to the attractive residents’ grounds, providing a pleasant outdoor environment, as well as a cycling store located at the rear of the car park. While the apartment does not come with an allocated parking space, spaces are often available to rent from other owners within the building, subject to availability and separate private arrangement.

Old Devonshire Road is ideally positioned within easy reach of the vibrant amenities of Balham with the High-street at the top of your road. The neighbourhood offers an array of independent cafés, restaurants, shops and nightlife, alongside everyday conveniences. The up-market Abbeville Village is also nearby, offering further bakeries and amenities. For green open spaces, Tooting Bec Common is just a six-minute walk and Clapham Common is also nearby, offering acres of parkland ideal for weekend strolls and outdoor activities.

Excellent transport links are close at hand, with Balham Stations both around an eight-minute stroll away, providing Northern Line Underground services and National Rail connections for swift access into Central London and beyond.

Chain-free.

Balham area highlights

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!
