Summary - 18, Streatham Close, Leigham Court Road SW16 2NQ
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Compact first-home near Streatham Hill station and Tooting Bec Common.
Chain-free ground-floor one-bedroom in a 1930s period block
A chain-free, ground-floor one-bedroom apartment in a handsome 1930s period block on Leigham Court Road. The flat offers a double bedroom, a bright reception room with wood floors and a separate kitchen, plus hallway storage — compact but usefully arranged for everyday living.
Practical benefits include a long lease (165 years), recent double glazing, a modern bathroom, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. Transport is a standout: Streatham Hill station is within walking distance with direct trains to central London hubs, and Tooting Bec Common is close for regular green-space access.
Buyers should be aware of the property’s limited overall size (about 418 sq ft) and that the building’s solid brick walls likely lack cavity insulation, which can affect heating efficiency. The local area scores as deprived with above-average crime, which may influence suitability for some purchasers or affect future rental values. Council tax is low, and the flat’s chain-free status and long lease suit first-time buyers or investors seeking a straightforward purchase with minimal immediate legal complexity.
This apartment will suit someone looking for a reasonably priced entry into south London with strong transport links, or an investor targeting rental demand from young professionals and commuter tenants. Some cosmetic updating or energy-efficiency improvements could add value and improve comfort over time.
