hour concierge mansion block building on Balham High Road benefits from three
equal sized double bedrooms and has been newly refurbished throughout. The
Master bedroom benefits from built-in wardrobes and an ensuite bathroom
(containing a freestanding shower). The second and third double bedroom can
benefit from the use of the external bathroom (which contains a bathtub/ stand
up shower combination). The eat-in kitchen is integrated throughout and
provides "Neff" electric cooker, oven and extractor fan, and
fridge/freezer, dishwasher. The property also provides a utility cupboard for
the separate "Bosch" washer and separate dryer. This property is
wonderfully bright throughout, provides lift access, contains gas heating (in
which the heating and hot water are included in the rent). This apartment is
available FURNISHED or UNFURNISHED. Du Cane Court is an Art Deco apartment
block on Balham High Road, Balham, south London. A distinctive local landmark,
it was opened in 1937 and, with 676 apartments, is the largest privately owned
block of flats under one roof in Europe. It is so distinctive (at least from a
great height in the air) that it was reputedly used as a navigational landmark
by German pilots bombing London during the Second World War. It was a popular
place to live for many music hall stars in the 1930s and 1940s and boasted a
social club, on the top floor, before the area was converted into flats. Past
residents have included the comedian Tommy Trinder. Currently comedian and
writer Arthur Smith, the self-styled 'Bard of Balham', is a resident. Du Cane
Court is an extremly convenient place to reside, being in close walking
proximity to Balham Underground Station (Northern line direct to the City or
West End) and Balham rail station (London Victoria from 11 mins) and Balham
High Road. The local area provides extensive shopping, dining, drinking,
leisure and recreational facilities (including Waitrose and a boutique local
cinema).
