Southside Charm, by Veeve

Sunseekers will be in their element at this exquisite redbrick Victorian home which enthrals both outside and in. An exalted terrace and manicured gardens majestically capture the leafy charms of this pleasantly pastoral area of south London, while its grandiose interiors adroitly switch between traditional and contemporary tastes. This property is situated in family friendly Balham, offering a vibrant community vibe in a neighbourhood that teems with artisan cafes and independent shops...

The sweeping entrance hall is an early sign towards this property’s impressive period heritage. Those timeless charms are firmly evident in the living room where an elegant bay window heightens the sense of refinement. A mood further enhanced by the imperious corniced ceilings, chandelier lights and traditional furnishings.

Enjoy escaping into a good book? You’ll find yourself spoiled for choice here, with ambient lighting gloriously illuminating a generous home library. Offering uplifting views and direct access to the garden, the kitchen and dining area is the epitome of grace with its neutral palette, sleek marble island and urbane dining table. Connoisseurs of a fine claret are also handily served here with the kitchen boasting a specialist wine fridge.

Harmoniously zen with its clean lines, gentle accent lighting and super king-sized bed, feel at rest in the principal bedroom. Spacious with its relaxed seating area and French doors out to the terrace, it also offers a contemporary en-suite bathroom with a walk-in shower.

Direct access to the garden brings major allure to the second bedroom, offering a king-sized bed and a reading armchair. Milk and honey hues ensure a mellow ambience permeates the third bedroom, bathed in light courtesy of a majestic bay window, whilst also boasting a well-thumbed bookshelf. Marvellous shades of mocha and charcoal grey greet you in the two remaining bathrooms, respectively offering a shower and bath.

However, we simply must sign off with more than just a salutary mention of the entrancing garden and terrace. Voluminous and verdant, it offers not one, not two, but three al fresco seating areas to catch the sun throughout the day. Sundowners at the ready....

We Love
The garden terrace that adds an exquisite final flourish to this quintessential design-led home, offering a hint of countrified charm in a neighbourhood boasting advantageous connections to Clapham Junction and central London.
