A compact two-bedroom top-floor flat in a converted Victorian building, this property suits a first-time buyer seeking a characterful London home with good transport links. The apartment’s open-plan reception and kitchen open onto a private balcony, adding outdoor space and useful external storage.
Practical positives include a very long lease (972 years) and share of freehold, mains gas heating with radiators, and fast broadband and mobile signal. Streatham Station is within walking distance and frequent buses connect to Brixton and central London; Streatham High Road provides supermarkets, cafés and everyday amenities. Streatham Common and Tooting Commons are nearby for regular outdoor space.
Buyers should note the flat is small at about 515 sq ft and sits on the top floor, accessed by stairs, which may limit suitability for those needing step-free access. The building dates from circa 1930–49 with solid brick walls and assumed no cavity insulation; the flat has secondary glazing. These factors could mean higher heating bills and scope for improvement if you want to upgrade thermal performance or soundproofing.
Overall this is a sensible, well-located entry-level home with genuine upside for buyers willing to accept modest space and invest in targeted improvements. The combination of a long lease, share of freehold and proximity to transport makes it a practical purchase for someone starting out in London.
