This one-bedroom flat on Woodgate Drive offers a bright, contemporary living space suited to a first-time buyer or investor seeking a low-maintenance London home. The reception opens to a well-appointed open-plan kitchen and benefits from good natural light through double glazing. At about 469 sq ft, the apartment provides comfortable lateral living without being oversized.
Practical advantages include a newly extended lease (124 years remaining), double glazing, and an enclosed end-terrace building constructed between 1996–2002. Streatham Common station and local shops are within easy reach, and nearby green space, several highly rated schools and fast broadband make the location convenient for daily life and rental demand.
Be aware this is a leasehold property with a small ground rent of £100 and electric storage heating rather than gas central heating — running costs may be higher than gas-heated homes. Crime in the area is average; the wider neighbourhood is relatively affluent and popular with young professionals and new EU tech workers.
Overall, the flat is a practical, modern option for someone buying their first home or adding a rental unit in SW16. It needs little immediate refurbishment and benefits from a long lease, but factor heating costs and leasehold ownership into running-cost calculations.
