Benefitting from over 750 square feet of internal space, all rooms feel wonderfully spacious with an airy and inviting ambience. The heart of the home is the open-plan reception, neutral and expansive this glorious room has the dimensions in which to lounge, cook and dine. Ideal for entertaining, the space flows effortlessly, drawing the eye to the glass feature wall framing the stairwell at one end, to the garden at the other. Fully integrated with high-end Miele appliances, the contemporary kitchen sweeps along one wall, providing plentiful storage within gloss cabinetry, bouncing the light around the room. Finished with worktop lighting this neatly designed kitchen is a great place in which to cook before dining around the table with pretty garden views. A separate utility room is located under the stairs, keeping the laundry neatly tucked away.

Sliding glass doors allow a seamless transition out to the private garden. South-West facing this sheltered spot is a fantastic sun-trap, perfect for soaking up the sun’s rays or enjoying a fire with a glass of your favourite tipple under the night sky.

Upstairs, the double bedroom is significant in size, nestled behind characterful arched sash windows framed with plantation shutters to allow privacy without interrupting the natural light. Neutrally presented with cosy carpets, this grand yet soothing space features a modern glass balustrade, large floor-to-ceiling wardrobes and generous space for further storage plus a desk or dressing table if desired.

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!
