This well-presented two-double-bedroom period flat combines original character with modern comfort, ideal for a first-time buyer seeking move-in readiness in Streatham. The reception room benefits from a bay window and good natural light, while the separate kitchen offers practical everyday use. A private rear garden is a rare plus for a conversion and extends usable living space in warmer months.
Practical ownership is straightforward: a very long lease (994 years) and share of freehold reduce common leasehold concerns. The property is compact at around 609 sq ft, set within an established residential street close to Streatham Common and regular transport links into central London—an attractive trade-off for buyers wanting location over large floorplate.
The building dates from the early 20th century and retains period features and high ceilings, which add character and a sense of space. Note the external walls are solid brick with no confirmed cavity insulation — buyers should expect typical Victorian fabric performance and consider insulation or heating efficiency improvements if desired.
Overall this flat offers an accessible entry into a popular SW16 neighbourhood: good schools nearby, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, a private garden, and straightforward tenure. It suits first-time buyers or investors seeking a compact two-bedroom home with period charm and ready-to-live-in presentation.
