Light-filled and generously proportioned, this split-level two-bedroom maisonette occupies the first and second floors of a period end-terrace building in Streatham Hill. At just over 1,000 sq ft the layout gives the feel of a small house: large reception, separate kitchen, two double bedrooms and a single family bathroom. A private street entrance and tall ceilings in the living room add period charm and a sense of space.
Positioned within a sought-after conservation area and a five-minute walk from Streatham Hill station, the home suits first-time buyers or couples who prioritise transport links, local shops and cafes. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, and the property is offered with no onward chain, meaning a quicker completion is possible.
The building dates from the early 20th century and has solid brick walls with no known cavity insulation; energy improvements or loft/party-wall insulation should be considered to improve comfort and running costs. There is one bathroom and a relatively small plot, so the property is best for buyers seeking generous internal space rather than extensive outdoor grounds. Conservation area status may restrict major external changes.
Overall this maisonette provides substantial living space, character features and excellent connectivity in a lively part of Streatham Hill. It will appeal to buyers who want a bright, adaptable home now, or those happy to invest in modest energy and cosmetic upgrades to personalise and future-proof the property.
