Tucked on the upper floor of a handsome Victorian building, this one-bedroom flat makes efficient use of its compact footprint while offering notable period charm. Tall sash-style windows, high ceilings and built-in storage create a bright, airy reception and a bedroom that feels larger than the square footage suggests. The separate kitchen and smart modern bathroom add practical comfort for everyday living.
A private, secluded roof terrace is the standout feature — a rare outdoor space in this area that provides privacy and a leafy outlook, ideal for morning coffee or an evening unwind. Free on-street parking and excellent transport links (Streatham Hill, West Norwood, Tulse Hill; Thameslink and Southern services) add convenience for commuters.
Buyers should note the property is a small one-bedroom leasehold apartment (423 sq ft) in a building constructed before 1900. The walls are solid brick with assumed no insulation and the double glazing was installed before 2002, so heating efficiency may be lower than modern equivalents. On-street parking is free but not dedicated, and local crime statistics are above average for the area. The long lease (approx. 151 years) and a below-average service charge provide ownership certainty.
This home suits a single buyer or couple seeking an affordable entry into SW16 with period character, a rare private terrace, and quick links into central London. It’s also suitable as a buy-to-let or pied-à-terre, though energy and security considerations may be relevant for some buyers.
