I still remember the first time I visited this apartment.

It was a bright autumn Sunday morning, the kind where the light feels a little softer but warmer somehow. I stepped inside, wandered through the space, opened the doors to the terrace… and genuinely thought, “I’d love to live here.” That feeling never really left.

This is a sumptuous two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment, less than five years old, and quite simply a premium example of modern living done beautifully. With over 850 sq ft of internal accommodation, it offers a level of space that’s genuinely impressive — and increasingly rare — for a two-bedroom home in Tooting/Balham.

From the moment you enter, there’s a sense of calm, quality and generosity of space. The heart of the home is the open-plan reception, dining and kitchen area, and it really is divine. Wonderfully proportioned, double-aspect, and wrapped in floor-to-ceiling glass, it’s flooded with natural light throughout the day. Even on a typical London afternoon, it feels bright, uplifting and welcoming.

The kitchen is sleek and contemporary with top-quality appliances throughout, including a Caple wine cooler — because some homes just get how life is meant to be lived.

Living here effortlessly spills outdoors. There’s a large private terrace, perfect for barbecues, long evenings with friends, or a quiet glass of wine as the sun goes down. There’s also a second balcony accessed from the reception, offering yet another place to enjoy the views and the light. Even better, the terrace includes a dedicated storage cupboard — a brilliant and often-overlooked bonus that makes day-to-day living that much easier.

Both bedrooms are generous doubles, with the principal boudoir being particularly special. The ensuite is beautifully finished and feels like a real retreat, and just off the bedroom is a gorgeous Juliet-style balcony — not your standard version, but something a little different and full of character. 

Just like the rest of the apartment, every room has a window. That might sound simple, but in South West London apartments it’s surprisingly rare — and it’s a huge part of why this home feels so bright, open and alive.

When I asked the sellers what they’ve loved most about living here, their answer wasn’t just about the apartment — it was about the life around it.

Some weekends it’s a gentle stroll to Tooting Common, other days it’s a wander up to Balham and all its cafés and restaurants. Sometimes it’s Wandsworth Common and Bellevue Road for a bite to eat, or Springfield Park for fresh air and open space. And then, of course, there’s everything Tooting has to offer — the tube, the markets, the coffee shops, the buzz, the community — all right on the doorstep.

This isn’t just a beautiful apartment.
It’s space, light and lifestyle wrapped up in one exceptional home.
A truly wonderful, premium Tooting Bec property — and one that’s very easy to fall in love with.
