This fantastic five-bedroom Victorian family home is set on a popular residential street moments from central Balham. The accommodation is arranged over four floors and measures 2,335 sq ft in total.
Set back from the street and tucked behind a front garden, the entrance opens into an elegant hallway which leads to the double reception room on the right. With high ceilings, intricate cornicing, and a feature fireplace, the room is flooded with light from windows that open onto the front of the property under the baldachin canopy. The chimney breast in the room is flanked by bespoke shelving.

There is plenty of room for a dining table, creating the perfect space for everyday living and entertaining.
