A bright two-bedroom first-floor conversion in a handsome Victorian semi-detached building, ideal for first-time buyers seeking character and convenience. The principal room and reception retain original fireplaces, high ceilings and large sash windows that flood rooms with natural light. The modern fitted kitchen and separate shower room add practical, contemporary comfort while two double bedrooms provide flexible space for a home office or guests.
The flat comes with share of freehold and a long lease (148 years), which is a strong ownership position for buyers. Communal garden access offers outdoor space uncommon for many London flats and the location benefits from excellent transport links — Streatham Hill and Balham connections give straightforward routes into central London. Nearby schools and local amenities suit young families or professionals.
Be aware of a few material points: the building’s solid brick construction likely has no cavity insulation and the glazing was installed before 2002, so heating bills may be higher than in modern stock. The area records higher crime levels, which prospective buyers should factor into insurance and security plans. Overall internal size is average for a two-bed conversion (around 771 sq ft), presenting a sensible, characterful starter home with modest retrofit potential.
