Summary - THE HIGH FLAT 1 STREATHAM HIGH ROAD LONDON SW16 1HE
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Characterful flat minutes from Streatham Hill Station and local green spaces.
Two double bedrooms with built-in storage
Set within a 1930s Art-Deco block, this two-double-bedroom flat blends original period character with everyday practical comforts. The sitting room retains an original fireplace, in-built shelving and plantation-style shutters, while the family bathroom features a modern claw-foot bath – a tasteful nod to the building’s era. At about 686 sq ft the layout feels generous for a first home, with plentiful built-in storage in both bedrooms and a well-proportioned kitchen.
Transport links are a standout: Streatham Hill Station is a three-minute walk, with quick connections across London and easy bus access to Brixton and Balham. Nearby green spaces — Tooting Bec Common and Streatham Common — and a broad mix of local amenities, cafes and restaurants make day-to-day life convenient. Several well-regarded schools are within reach for families planning ahead.
Practical considerations are straightforward: the flat is leasehold with about 102 years remaining, a service charge averaging £2,818 and a small ground rent of £80. Constructed of solid brick with secondary glazing, the building retains charm but offers limited wall insulation; buyers should consider potential improvements to thermal efficiency. Crime levels in the area are above average, so sensible security measures are advised.
Overall this property suits a first-time buyer seeking character, transport convenience and outside space access, or an investor wanting a well-located two-bedroom in a desirable stretch of Streatham. The flat is well-presented but any buyer should weigh ongoing service costs and potential retrofit work against the strong location and period appeal.
