A substantial Victorian period property offering 2,333 sq ft of flexible accommodation across three storeys. The house sits on a decent plot with a large rear garden and off-street parking — a rare combination close to Streatham Common and local rail links. The location is well served by shops, cafes, and several highly rated schools, making the area desirable for families and rental demand steady for investors.
This is a clear renovation project: many rooms and the kitchen are dated, heating relies on room heaters with mains gas, and walls are likely solid-brick with no insulation. The current layout suggests potential for reconfiguration — reinstating a single-family home, creating multiple lettable units, or extending subject to planning. Energy rating D and assumed solid walls mean insulation and services upgrades will be needed to improve comfort and running costs.
The scale and period features (bay windows, high ceilings) are strong value drivers for a buyer able to oversee refurbishment. Works could add significant value but expect costs for modernisation, rewiring, insulation, and compliance if converting to separate flats. Freehold tenure and a large internal area give scope for substantial uplift with the right planning and investment.
Interested buyers should factor in renovation time and costs and verify planning, building regulations and services information prior to purchase. The property is offered as a project with clear upside for those seeking a large Victorian house in Streatham with strong location credentials.
