About this property
Family tales by UnderTheDoormat
This double-fronted Victorian house in Balham is both spacious and welcoming, with characterful touches throughout and a layout designed for easy family living.
The five-bedroom home comfortably accommodates up to ten guests – eight adults and two children – across three levels. The top floor includes a king-size room, a double bedroom and a twin room, all sharing a contemporary wet room. On the middle floor, the super-king master bedroom has an en suite bathroom with rainfall shower, and there’s a child’s bedroom with bunk beds (top bunk suitable for children aged 6+), served by a generous family bathroom.
The heart of the home is the open-plan living space, combining a front reception room with two leather sofas and TV, a stylish galley kitchen, and a bright dining area that opens directly onto a sunny, lawned garden – perfect for family meals or relaxing outdoors.
The kitchen is well-stocked for self-catering, while Balham’s buzzing restaurant and café scene is right on your doorstep. A washing machine and tumble dryer are located in the basement for guest use.
The Location
Set in a peaceful residential street just minutes from Balham’s shops, cafes and transport connections, this home has everything for a convenient South London stay. Balham station (Northern Line and Overground) is only five minutes away, offering direct links to Clapham Junction, Victoria, Waterloo, and the West End.
Tooting Bec, Wandsworth Common and Clapham Common are all within walking distance, offering ample green space and family-friendly amenities. Balham is popular for its independent coffee shops, brunch spots like Milk, and gastro pubs including The Regent and The Cyclist. Local favourites like The Bedford Arms offer live comedy and music nights.

Why they chose this property
The house lies in a residential road close to Balham High Road and the underground and overground stations at Balham. The overground line goes to Clapham Junction in 5 minutes and to Victoria in 15 minutes. The underground station is on the Northern Line with easy access to Waterloo, Embankment, Leicester Square and the newly reopened Battersea Power Station. Tooting Bec Common which offers green, open space and recreational facilities, including tennis courts, is nearby as Wandsworth Common and Clapham Common with their cafes and leisure amenities. Balham is well-known for its red brick Victorian and Edwardian homes and is a lively area also popular with young families. Balham has many independent coffee shops and retail stores, with Milk on Hildreth Street being the pick of the bunch for a weekend brunch. The Regent, Hagen and Hyde and The Cyclist are good gastro pubs and there is also Meghans and Pho for evening dining or lunch. Joe and the Juice opposite the station is also popular as is The Bedford Arms which features live comedy and music nights.
