Light-filled two-bedroom first-floor flat in a period conversion on Fernthorpe Road, offering a practical layout for first-time buyers or small families. The reception room benefits from a large bay window and high ceilings; a neat kitchen opens to a private, partly paved garden reached down a short flight of rear steps. At about 590 sq ft the flat feels compact but well-proportioned for its size.
The property sits in sought-after Furzedown with excellent local schools, good transport links to Streatham and Streatham Common stations, and nearby shopping on Mitcham Lane. Victorian exterior character, double glazing and mains gas central heating provide period charm with everyday convenience. Council Tax band C and generally low local crime make this an accessible family purchase.
Important practical points: the flat is leasehold and part of a conversion from a 1900–1929 mid-terrace, with solid brick walls likely lacking cavity insulation. The bathroom is a single room and the overall living area is modest, so buyers should expect limited storage and potential running costs for heating in winter. Double glazing install date is unknown and may require updating.
This is a straightforward, well-located flat that suits buyers seeking affordable entry into a desirable south London pocket. It offers immediate move-in potential with sensible scope for cosmetic updating or insulating works to improve comfort and running costs.
