1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Perfect first home near Streatham Common and fast trains into central London.
Top-floor one-bedroom flat in period conversion (approx. 544 sq ft)
Quietly positioned on a residential street just minutes from Streatham High Road, this top-floor one-bedroom flat offers a compact, well-located London home. The apartment sits within a period conversion and provides a generous reception room with dining space, a separate fitted kitchen, shower room plus a separate WC—useful for guests. At 544 sq ft, the layout feels comfortable for a first-time buyer or single professional.
Transport and local life are definite strengths: Streatham Station is a short walk with Southern and Thameslink links to central London, and multiple bus routes connect to the Northern and Victoria lines. Streatham Common and Tooting Commons are within walking distance, giving easy access to green space and outdoor amenities. Nearby supermarkets include Tesco Extra, M&S Foodhall, and Aldi.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold top-floor flat in a circa 1900–1929 conversion. The building’s timber-frame construction is recorded as having no original insulation (assumed), and the kitchen sits beneath a sloping ceiling with lower-than-average height. There are stairs to the top floor and standard council tax costs described as affordable. These factors are important for anyone sensitive to maintenance, energy efficiency, or mobility.
Overall, the property combines period character with a modern fitted kitchen and fast broadband, making it practical for everyday living or a starter home. The location, solid transport links and nearby good and outstanding schools add long-term appeal for first-time buyers planning to put down roots in Streatham.
