Full Description - Keating Estates are delighted to present an elegant three bedroom, two bathroom split-level Victorian conversion of nearly 1,000 square feet, boasting a generous South-West facing garden and set within an attractive semi-detached property on sought-after Sistova Road in the heart of Balham.

The home enjoys notable kerb appeal, set back from the street behind a classic low iron gate. A monochrome mosaic pathway leads invitingly to a pale blue front door, offering a charming first impression in keeping with the period architecture of the area.

The reception sits to the front, a beautifully proportioned room enhanced by a sash bay window fitted with plantation shutters. Cosy carpets, high ceilings and ornate cornicing frame the space, while a wood-burning stove forms a captivating focal point, nestled beneath a characterful mantel and flanked by bespoke shelving. Ample room remains for a dining table should one wish, creating a warm and versatile setting. The separate kitchen is arranged with contemporary shaker-style cabinetry along one wall, complemented by wooden worktops and brass hardware. Integrated appliances ensure a sleek finish, while a window provides a pleasant view of the garden’s side return. A breakfast bar offers casual seating and dining, and two generous pantry cupboards provide excellent storage.

The South-West facing garden is a lovely sunny spot, accessed from the hallway beside the kitchen. Paved for easy upkeep, it offers raised planters for greenery and a raised seating area at the rear, ideal for evening relaxation. Side access adds valuable practicality for bikes, prams or effortless hosting.

All three bedrooms sit apart from one another, offering welcome privacy for each. The principal is a serene and airy retreat with high ceilings, ornate cornicing, soft neutral tones and a useful wardrobe nook. There is comfortable space for a desk or dressing table, and French windows invite natural light and views to the garden. The second bedroom is positioned downstairs — another spacious double with fitted wardrobes and a tranquil, inviting ambience. Conveniently adjacent lies one of the bathrooms, featuring a free-standing bathtub with swan-neck tap and shower attachment. The third bedroom is set to the rear of the home, with dual-aspect views across the garden, it is an adaptable space with the potential to be re-purposed to suit needs if all three bedrooms aren't required. A second bathroom sits adjacent, appointed with marbled tiling, a bathtub with overhead rain shower and brass fixtures that evoke a calming, spa-like feel.

Precedent set on the street should the new purchaser wish to seek the necessary permissions to extend into the side return in the future.
