Summary - 47, Streatham Close, Leigham Court Road SW16 2NH
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Characterful 1930s one-bed with parking and long lease — close to Streatham Hill station.
Second-floor one-bedroom apartment, 441 sq ft
Set on the second floor of a 1930s mock-Tudor mansion block, this bright one-bedroom apartment offers practical city living with period character and modern neutral décor. The large double bedroom and airy living room make efficient use of the 441 sq ft, and the property is offered chain free with a long 166-year lease — a strong platform for first-time buyers or buy-to-let purchasers.
The building sits set back from Leigham Court Road with immaculate communal gardens, private residents’ parking and secure bike storage. Streatham Hill station and local buses are a short walk away, giving fast links into central London, while neighbourhood amenities such as shops, cafes and supermarkets are close by.
Buyers should note some long-term maintenance and cost points: the service charge is around £2,200 per year and walls are original solid brick (no known insulation), so heating efficiency may be lower than modern builds. The double glazing install date is unknown. The surrounding area shows above-average crime and a higher level of deprivation compared with some nearby neighbourhoods, which may concern some purchasers.
Overall this apartment suits someone seeking an affordable, characterful one-bed close to transport links — particularly a first-time buyer or investor who can factor in service charges and potential heating/insulation improvements to maximise comfort and value.
