Keating Estates are proud to present this substantial six-bedroom period house, offering close to 3,000 square feet of internal space, arranged over multiple floors with generous proportions throughout and a large private garden, presenting an exciting opportunity for a buyer to modernise and create a truly impressive family home, with the house having been in the same ownership for over 80 years, this is a rare opportunity.

Set behind an attractive façade, the property retains a wealth of character and scale, allowing the incoming purchaser to put their own stamp on every aspect. The ground floor comprises two sizeable reception rooms, both enjoying high ceilings, with the front reception boasting a large bay window that floods the space with natural light. These rooms offer flexibility for formal entertaining, a family lounge or home working setups.

To the rear, a separate dining room leads through to a kitchen space which, while currently functional, presents clear scope for reconfiguration.

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!
