Spacious, renovation-ready flat near Streatham Hill station ideal for first-time buyers.
Share of freehold and chain-free sale for straightforward purchase
Over 600 sq ft of bright, well-proportioned living space
0.2 miles to Streatham Hill station; excellent transport links
Gated development with communal gardens for privacy and outdoor space
Requires renovation and modernisation throughout
Solid brick construction; likely limited wall insulation to upgrade
Double glazing present but installation date unknown
Local crime level above average — consider security and insurance costs
Set within a striking Art Deco block, this two-bedroom flat offers over 600 sq ft of well-proportioned space a short walk from Streatham Hill station. With a share of freehold and sold chain-free, it’s a straightforward purchase for buyers wanting immediate ownership and good commuter links. The gated development and communal gardens add privacy and an outdoor escape in a busy neighbourhood.
The apartment retains period character alongside some contemporary fittings, including a modern kitchen and double glazing (installation date unknown). Heating is via a mains-gas boiler and radiators; the building’s solid brick construction means current wall insulation is likely limited. The accommodation is bright and practical but does require renovation to reach modern standards — a realistic project for someone wanting to add value and personalise the home.
Location is a key strength: 0.2 miles to Streatham Hill station, frequent buses into Brixton, and a wide range of shops, cafés, gyms and restaurants on the doorstep. Good local schools and fast broadband make this suitable for first-time buyers looking to settle in a lively, well-connected part of South London.
Be candid about the drawbacks: the flat needs updating, the exact age of the double glazing is unclear, and local crime levels are above average. These are practical considerations for budgeting and renovation planning, but the combination of size, share of freehold and proximity to transport presents clear potential for improvement and future resale uplift.
