Key Details

Property Description

2 double bedroom first floor Victorian maisonette with private garden, tall ceilings, original fireplaces, utility room and well maintained throughout. 0.5 miles to Tooting station with direct links to Central London. No chain. Nestled on the ever-popular Idlecombe Road in Tooting, this beautifully presented two-bedroom, first-floor Victorian maisonette offers the perfect blend of period charm, modern convenience and a lifestyle that truly connects you to the heart of South West London. An ideal first-time buyer opportunity, the current owners have lovingly maintained and redecorated the property since moving in back in 2021, and it’s easy to see why they’ve cherished their time here. Originally built in the late 1800s, this period conversion has retained all the character you’d expect—tall ceilings, elegant fireplaces, and generously proportioned rooms—while being tastefully updated for modern living. Spanning approximately 796 sq ft, the layout is particularly appealing, with the home occupying the first floor of a double-fronted building, providing a light, spacious feel throughout. As you enter the private front door, you’re welcomed by a staircase that leads up to a wide, light-filled landing. A glass-panelled door opens to a charming balcony, allowing natural light to flood the space and offering a moment of fresh air before you even start your day. The landing also provides access to the loft, offering additional storage or exciting potential for future development (STPP + Freeholder consent), as others on the road have already taken advantage of. The bedrooms are positioned to the left of the landing and mirror one another in layout and size—both generous doubles, one facing the front and one the rear. Each features a stunning original Victorian fireplace, adding warmth and authenticity, and the front bedroom is further elevated by coffee-shop-style plantation shutters that match those found in the living room. These little details bring a cohesive charm to the home that feels both welcoming and refined. A neatly presented three-piece family bathroom sits centrally off the landing, in excellent condition and complemented by fresh décor throughout. On the opposite side of the landing is the living room—bright, comfortable, and perfect for entertaining or unwinding. The front aspect invites plenty of natural light, while the fireplace and shutters set the tone for relaxed evenings and stylish comfort. At the rear, the kitchen delivers both charm and practicality, fitted with wood effect worktops, a built-in oven, gas hob, and dishwasher. Another fireplace provides a nod to the building’s heritage, and a handy utility room just beyond adds further functionality—with space for laundry appliances, over-counter storage, and direct access to your private rear garden. And what a garden it is—paved for easy maintenance yet beautifully landscaped, offering a tranquil retreat that enjoys plenty of sunshine thanks to its south-east facing orientation. Whether it’s morning coffees, weekend BBQs or a quiet afternoon with a book, this is a space that enhances your lifestyle all year round. Idlecombe Road places you within effortless reach of Tooting’s best amenities. Just 0.7 miles from Tooting Broadway station (Northern Line), you can be in Central London (Leicester Square) in approximately 25 minutes. Tooting Rail station is even closer at just 0.5 miles, providing direct Thameslink access to Blackfriars, Farringdon and St Pancras International. Green spaces are abundant in this part of London. Tooting Bec Common—with its wide-open spaces, tennis courts and the famous Tooting Bec Lido—is just 1.2 miles away, while the peaceful Figges Marsh is a mere 0.3 miles stroll. For dog owners, runners or families alike, you’re perfectly placed for outdoor leisure. Local amenities are equally impressive. Tooting Library is 0.5 miles away, and both large supermarkets and independent grocers are close by. Tooting High Street offers everything from handy services to award-winning restaurants. Highlights include the vibrant Broadway Market, the legendary Lahore Karahi (rated highly for authentic Pakistani cuisine), and local favourites like The Little Taperia and Daddy Bao. For drinks, The Antelope and The Selkirk are much-loved local pubs with great atmospheres and beer gardens. With residents’ permit parking available on the street, the practicalities of daily life are well covered too. This is a home with soul—charming, spacious, and in a location that offers the perfect balance of community, connectivity and culture. Whether you’re taking your first step onto the property ladder or looking for a lifestyle move, this exceptional maisonette on Idlecombe Road could be exactly what you’ve been searching for.
