Rare, double-fronted Victorian gem: seven-bedroom Heaver Estate house, updated to suit modern family life, overlooking Tooting Bec Common and only a short walk to Balham’s amenities and transport links to the City and West End.

The wisteria-clad façade of this fantastic double-fronted house, faces due south, giving uninterrupted views of the green expanse of Balham & Tooting Common. With approximately 3,950 square feet of living and entertaining space, the house has been sympathetically extended to blend period features with modern living.

The wide hallway, with original tessellated floor tiles, gives onto the sitting room to the right and the dining room to the left. Both rooms have fantastic proportions, with significant ceiling heights, further accentuated by the large bay windows, offering gorgeous views of the green Common.

To the rear of the ground floor, a spacious contemporary kitchen/diner has been created, with a family room/den alongside. The clean lines of this modern addition, with its skylight and floor to ceiling doors onto the garden, are in contrast to the Victorian design of the house, but the two blend successfully. Underfloor heating runs throughout the space. A W.C. and large bank of concealed storage cupboards complete the ground floor. A sizeable cellar offers excellent storage space and the potential to further increase the square footage, subject to planning.

The lawned garden is planted with mature trees and shrubs, with a large terrace, ideal for outdoor dining. A side gate provides secure access to the front of the property.

The generous principal bedroom suite has a fantastic square bay window, highlighting the uninterrupted green vista, seldom seen in London. Bespoke wardrobes conceal the entrance to a spacious en-suite bathroom. The first floor landing benefits from a large window overlooking the Common and flooding the hall and staircase with light. A second and equally spacious bedroom takes in the same views, and with the third double bedroom which overlooks the garden, is also served by a contemporary shower room. The utility room is also located on this floor. On the top floor, four good sized double bedrooms share a family bathroom. The loft space provides further storage.

The next steps...

Establish funds

How will you fund the purchase?

Before making an offer on a property you will want to consider your financial situation, your income and outgoings.

Will you finance the purchase of your next property from the sale of an existing property which can put you in a chain, arrange a mortgage through your bank or buy the property outright.

To help you finance your next property purchase, we have a long established relationship with an independent mortgage broker who can discuss your situation with you.

Remember that having a 'mortgage decision in principle' can make you a more attractive buyer when you make an offer on a property. Contact our mortgage advisers for free, no obligation and impartial advice.

Some advantages of a broker are:

They do all the legwork for you, working on your behalf with the lender
They compare wholesale mortgage rates from a large number of banks and lenders all at once
Their wholesale interest rates can be lower than retail (bank branch) interest rates
They offer more loan options because they work with numerous banks and lenders
They can finance tricky deals because of their knowledge and various lending partners
They are typically easier to get in contact with, and are less bureaucratic.

However advantages of working with your bank are:

You may be able to build off an existing relationship (and gain discounts if you have a checking or savings account)
You may already know the banker who will handle your mortgage
Banks may be more accountable than a smaller shop
They may offer lower interest rates in some cases
Their ability to add mortgage to existing banking profile and make automatic payments from linked account.
