Summary - WOODGATE DRIVE SW16 5YQ
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Ideal first home near Streatham Common with allocated parking and fast rail links.
Two bedrooms in a quiet residential development
A compact, newly refreshed two-bedroom apartment in a quiet residential development, well suited to first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. The reception room is light and versatile, with laminate floors and space for dining and relaxing. The bathroom and kitchen have been recently updated and the principal bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes.
Practicalities are straightforward: allocated off-street parking, a long lease (about 160 years remaining from 1996), and a service charge of approximately £1,896 per year. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the property runs on electric mains; there is no private garden but communal outdoor areas are likely. Broadband and mobile signal are reported as good, and local amenities including shops, cafés and a Sainsbury’s Local are within easy walking distance.
Transport is a standout: Streatham Common station offers direct services to Clapham Junction (around 11 minutes) and Victoria (around 19 minutes), making central London commutes fast. The development is well maintained and the immediate area is affluent with a lively local community and reputable nearby schools.
Notable limitations: the apartment is small (about 584 sq ft) and leasehold tenure applies, so purchasers should factor in service charges and possible additional leasehold administration costs. Buyers should also note the electric storage heating system, which can be less efficient than gas central heating. Prospective purchasers are advised to obtain independent surveys and checks on services before committing.
