Old meets new: two-bedroom flat on the Balham/Streatham Hill borders in popular SW2 conservation area

One to see in SW2 is this bright garden flat in a leafy road within the Telford Park conservation area on the Balham/Streatham Hill borders.

Outside you see a beautifully restored Victorian house — but the interior has been shaped from a glassy extension that is all about high ceilings, wood floors and plenty of light from huge bespoke glass doors to the 26ft garden.

A large skylight illuminates the sleek kitchen/dining space, open-plan to the spacious living area.

Two decent-size double bedrooms have sash windows and fitted carpets and the use of a white metro-tiled bathroom.

The green open spaces of Tooting Bec Common and the charms of Abbeville Village are on the doorstep.

For sale for £699,000 through Winkworth (020 8012 3579).
