Tucked on a quiet cul-de-sac near Streatham Common station, this ground-floor one-bedroom maisonette combines period character with a sunny south-facing private garden. The layout flows from a bright front reception to a rear double bedroom, with a breakfast-style kitchen overlooking the paved garden — a low-maintenance outdoor space for morning coffee or evening relaxation.
Practical details suit first-time buyers or downsizers: the flat has its own entrance, double glazing, gas central heating and a very long lease (945 years). Annual costs are modest — cheap council tax and a small £50 ground rent — making the property economical to run.
Be realistic about the size and some retrofit needs. At about 439 sq ft the accommodation is compact, so storage and layout planning will matter. The building’s solid brick walls are likely uninsulated, so improving thermal performance may be worthwhile. The local area is an urban cultural mix with average crime and pockets of deprivation; however, transport links and nearby schools are strong selling points.
Overall this maisonette offers a charming, low-cost entry into SW16 living with real outdoor space and easy commuting. It suits buyers prioritising location, period detail and a sunny private garden, while accepting modest internal space and potential improvement works.
