Set within the red-brick Leigham Court Estate, this bright two-bedroom apartment combines Victorian character with a contemporary rear extension. High ceilings, original sash windows, cornicing and floorboards sit alongside a voluminous open-plan kitchen/living space with skylights and underfloor heating.
The living space flows through tri-fold doors onto the only full-width, south-facing garden in the terrace — a rare outdoor asset for this part of Streatham Hill. At 667 sq ft the apartment feels generous for its size, and commuting is straightforward with Streatham Hill station a seven-minute walk and frequent buses to Brixton and beyond.
Practical points to note: the property is leasehold with approximately 95 years remaining and a low ground rent (circa £10 p.a.). The building’s solid brick construction suggests minimal wall insulation as-built, which may affect thermal performance and future energy upgrades. There is one bathroom only, and some buyers may prefer more modern glazing or additional insulation works.
This home will suit buyers seeking period charm with contemporary living and an exceptional garden — particularly first-time buyers or small families wanting good transport links and local amenities. The apartment offers immediate comfort with scope for targeted improvement to boost energy efficiency and long-term value.
