This two-bedroom apartment occupies a practical 761 sq ft layout on a quiet residential road, a short walk from Streatham Station and local shops. The flat includes a private garden and a garage — useful outdoor space and secure parking that are rare for this price band. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, suiting commuters and remote workers.
The building dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s and the flat has double glazing and electric storage heaters. Energy performance is rated E and the cavity walls are assumed to have no added insulation, so there is clear scope to improve running costs and comfort through insulation and heating upgrades. The property is presented as a tidy, traditional layout with a large reception room and well-proportioned bedrooms.
Practical considerations are straightforward: the tenure is leasehold with 86 years remaining and the area records above-average crime and higher deprivation indices, which will matter to some buyers. Council Tax band is affordable and there is no flooding risk. Overall, this is a sensible purchase for a first-time buyer or investor who wants central Streatham convenience with immediate rental or living potential and straightforward refurbishment upside.
Buyers should check lease details, service charges and running costs, and factor in potential costs to improve energy efficiency and heating. Viewing will best show the size, layout and garden/garage benefits in person.
