Glasford Street, Tooting,

This two double bedroom ground-floor maisonette is one of those homes that just feels right the moment you step inside. And fun fact — maisonette is French for “little house”, which feels particularly fitting here. One of the real joys of a maisonette is that sense of having your own front door and your own space, and this home delivers both.

All the accommodation is on the ground floor, making it a brilliant option for first-time buyers wanting something that feels more like a house than a flat, as well as those downsizing from a larger home or anyone keen to avoid stairs altogether.

Both bedrooms are ‘proper’ doubles — and that’s worth shouting about. In this price range, “second bedroom” can often mean compromise, but not here. Each room comfortably fits a double bed, wardrobes, desks, and still leaves space to move around without bruised shins or awkward window access.

The bathroom is a real treat too — generously sized and offering the best of both worlds with a separate shower cubicle and a full-sized bath. A little everyday luxury that never gets old.

To the rear of the property is a smart open-plan kitchen and reception room, a lovely sociable space with direct access to your own private rear garden and side return — perfect for summer evenings, weekend pottering, or a bit of alfresco dining.

Location-wise, it’s hard to beat. Tooting Station (Thameslink) is literally a two-minute walk away, getting you to Farringdon in around 30 minutes, right in the heart of the City. You’re also about 10 minutes walk from Tooting Broadway tube, which means that you are also close to a fantastic mix of independent coffee shops, bars, restaurants, and both of the much-loved Tooting Markets. This part of Tooting continues to grow in popularity, reflected in the ongoing investment and regeneration nearby.

All in all, this is a fabulous home — practical, welcoming, and full of that hard-to-define “little house” feeling.
