A rare chance to acquire a seven-bedroom, double-fronted detached house on one of Balham’s most desirable roads. Owned by the same family since the 1950s, this substantial home offers significant potential—whether reconfigured into multiple flats (STPP) or restored into a grand family residence. In need of modernisation, the property retains a wealth of period character and presents a unique opportunity for the right buyer.
The Tour
Set back from the road, the home is fronted by a generous garden and driveway with space for two cars. Its striking façade leads into an interior brimming with history and original features, such as tessellated flooring and fireplaces that could be beautifully restored.
Arranged over four levels, including a large basement, the house was previously configured as two dwellings to accommodate a large family. The accommodation currently includes seven bedrooms, two kitchens, three bathrooms, a double reception room, and a separate games room. A staircase rises to the upper floors where spacious bedrooms and a family bathroom can be found, with direct access to the rear garden also available from the first floor.
Outdoor Space
The property benefits from a private south-east facing garden, with scope for extension subject to planning permission. Please note there is a treatment plan in place for Japanese Knotweed affecting a small section of the garden, and specialised lenders are available for this situation.
The Area
Culverden Road is ideally located within easy reach of Balham’s vibrant shops, restaurants, and excellent transport links. Popular local spots include The Bedford Pub, Planet Organic, and the Heart of Balham Café (HOB). Nearby Tooting Common offers green open space and recreational activities such as tag rugby, perfect for families and active lifestyles.
This is a rare and exciting opportunity to create something special in one of Balham’s most sought-after neighbourhoods.
