Salford Road, London, SW2

Set behind a good-size front garden on a quiet, tree-lined street on the Streatham Hill and Balham borders, this characterful four-bedroom period home combines classic Victorian charm with practical modern updates, including a full rewire in 2012, a new roof in 2017, and ten south-facing solar panels installed in 2023 generating enough energy in 2025 to export more electricity to the grid than was consumed. The ground floor opens into a wide hallway featuring high ceilings, original ceiling roses, and decorative Victorian plasterwork. The front-facing reception room boasts a bay window and an original marble mantelpiece, while interconnecting doors lead into the adjoining kitchen, finished with durable granite worktops. A convenient utility room provides side return access alongside a guest WC. Positioned to the rear, the bright living room includes a feature fireplace and French doors opening onto a charming private garden. The ground floor receptions offer full flexibility to configure living and dining zones to suit purchaser preference. Upstairs, the first floor comprises four well-proportioned bedrooms, all finished with original period fireplaces including a marble mantelpiece in the full-width principal bedroom - served by a central family bathroom suite. Overhead, the loft space provides useful storage alongside clear potential to convert (STPP). Salford Road is situated on a quiet residential street just 200 metres from Tooting Bec Common, offering immediate access to green space, tennis courts, and the iconic Lido.
