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 proud to present to market an appealing three double bedroom split-level flat with planning approved for a loft room, bathroom and terrace, set on Rossiter Road, a quiet and neighbourly street in the heart of Balham, a short walk to the High Street with access to the Northern Line and rail.
Measuring almost 1,000 square feet of internal space, the home has been recently renovated throughout by the current vendors making the property an attractive prospect ready to live in straight away with the potential to add your own touches over time.
Flooded with natural light through large windows, the reception room is spacious with a sociable yet restful ambience, offering ample space in which to unwind or dine with family and friends. Further features of this inviting room are the high, corniced ceilings and contemporary lighting and flooring. The separate kitchen is set to the rear with leafy views. Contemporary in styling the kitchen provides ample storage which wraps around to maximise the space, creating an airy and ergonomic room in which to cook, finished with attractive tiling for a stylish flash of colour.
Ideal for families or those wishing to rent out a room or two, the bedrooms are all doubles, peacefully nestled to the rear, away from the already quiet street. The two largest bedrooms are particularly well proportioned, separated from one another at differing points of the home. The upper third bedroom is still a comfortable double with space for the traditional bedroom furnishings. The family-sized bathroom is stylishly neutral, equipped with a bathtub with overhead shower and integrated storage, finished with large contemporary tiling.
A fantastically versatile home, with the further benefit of approved planning permission to extend into the loft, further increasing the footprint of this already sizeable apartment whilst also providing another bathroom and a private terrace, which would be perfect for basking in the sun or relaxing under the stars with a glass of your favourite tipple.
The freehold of the building is also included within the sale.
An alluring home with tasteful finishes throughout, ideal for a hassle-free move and perfect for those seeking a vibrant urban lifestyle in a well-connected area.
