Set on a quiet cul-de-sac in Streatham, this four-bedroom terraced home offers substantial scope to create a comfortable family house or a high-return renovation. The current layout provides versatile space across two storeys with a private rear garden and off-street parking — useful assets in SW16.
The property requires updating throughout, so it will suit a buyer happy to modernise. There is potential to extend into the loft or rear (subject to planning permission), allowing buyers to increase living space and value. Notable internal issues include dated fixtures, ceiling stains in the living room and general maintenance needs.
Location is a key strength: Streatham Common and The Rookery are within walking distance, and Streatham/Streatham Common stations provide straightforward links into central London. Several highly rated primary and secondary schools are nearby, making this a practical choice for families.
Practical considerations: broadband speeds are slow locally, council tax is above average and the plot is modest. For an owner-occupier or investor prepared to refurbish, the combination of location, transport and extension potential offers clear upside.
