Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal

Newly refurbished and neatly presented, this ground-floor one-bedroom flat in Furzedown offers a straightforward, low-fuss home or rental opportunity. The sitting room benefits from a large window and mid-century/contemporary features that bring natural light and character, while the separate fitted kitchen and double bedroom complete a compact, comfortable layout across about 495 sq ft.
Practical details suit both first-time buyers and buy-to-let investors: a long lease is recorded (190 years remaining), mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. Local transport is strong — Streatham stations and multiple bus routes are within easy reach — and the flat sits close to shops, schools and everyday amenities.
Be factual about running costs and context: the property is leasehold, with an average service charge of around £1,300 and potential additional fees for lease documentation. The building is an early 20th-century solid-brick construction (likely no cavity insulation), and the wider area scores as very deprived, with average local crime levels — factors to consider for owners and investors.
Overall this is an accessible, turn-key flat with clear rental and owner-occupier appeal. It will particularly suit first-time buyers seeking a manageable, well-presented home near transport links, or investors looking for a straightforward addition to a local portfolio, provided they allow for service charges and the local area profile.
