We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

Full Description Keating Estates are proud to present this exciting opportunity to acquire a three-bedroom period property with a study, situated on Harberson Road in the heart of Balham.
In need of full renovation throughout, this Victorian home provides a wonderful blank canvas for buyers looking to create a home of their own, with excellent scope to enhance and extend over time, subject to the necessary planning permissions.
As you approach the property, the handsome Victorian façade offers attractive kerb appeal, with classic brickwork, decorative detailing, an arched doorway and a front garden creating a welcoming first impression.
At the front of the property, a bright reception room benefits from a bay window fitted with shutters, providing an appealing living space with plenty of natural light.
Behind the front reception is a versatile second room, ideal as a bedroom whilst equally suited as an additional reception room if preferred.
Further along the hallway is a separate dining room, positioned adjacent to the kitchen at the rear of the property.
While the current layout works well, the house offers clear potential for buyers wishing to reconfigure the space to suit modern living. The kitchen overlooks the rear garden.
Outside, the private rear garden provides a good-sized outdoor space with plenty of potential for landscaping or creating an enjoyable area for relaxing and entertaining.
Upstairs, there are two bedrooms and a separate study.
The principal bedroom is positioned at the front of the house, spanning the full width of the property, with two windows flooding the room with natural light.
The second bedroom is positioned towards the rear of the first floor. The additional study offers useful flexibility, whether for home working, a nursery or additional storage.
A family bathroom completes the accommodation.
The property now requires full refurbishment throughout, presenting an excellent opportunity for purchasers looking to modernise a period home to their own specification.
There is also scope to extend, subject to the necessary planning permissions, with the potential for both a loft conversion and a side return extension.
Harberson Road is fantastically positioned in the heart of vibrant Balham, moments from the wide array of amenities along the High Road.

The Bedford, a renowned local pub and live entertainment venue, is within easy reach, as are independent boutiques and larger supermarkets catering to day-to-day needs.
