Large renovation project with balcony and garden for families or investors.
Extended Victorian semi with original period features
Ready for a full overhaul, this extended Victorian semi offers more than 2,400 sq ft of scope and original period character. The house’s high ceilings, large bay windows and principal-bedroom balcony are genuine selling points; with three reception rooms and four bedrooms there’s space for a growing family or multi-room layouts. Chain free status and a decent rear garden add practical appeal for buyers who want immediate control of the project.
The property requires full modernisation throughout — mechanical, electrical and cosmetic works are needed — which makes it a clear renovation project rather than a move-in-ready home. Solid brick walls likely lack insulation and the current heating will benefit from updating; council tax is described as expensive. These factors have been reflected in the price and suit buyers who can invest time and budget to create value.
Stanthorpe Road is well placed for commuter links via Streatham and Streatham Common stations, and for local amenities along Streatham High Road. Nearby schools include several rated Good and Outstanding, supporting family buyers. Note the immediate area has higher crime and deprivation indicators; factor this into renovation and long-term plans.
For buyers and investors seeking a substantial period property with clear upside, this home is a rare blank canvas in SW16. If you’re prepared for a comprehensive refit, the combination of size, location and period features offers strong potential to create a standout family residence or a high-value long-term asset.
