Summary - Mountearl Gardens, London, SW16 SW16 2PA
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Compact modern flat near Streatham Hill station, ideal for eligible first-time buyers.
Juliet window with strong afternoon sun
Set within the contemporary Mountearl Gardens development, this newly renovated one-bedroom ground-floor apartment offers compact, well-planned living with a west-facing Juliet window that captures afternoon sun. The open-plan kitchen/reception maximises usable space and leads onto views over the landscaped communal garden. Built-in mirrored wardrobes and a hallway cupboard increase storage in a property that is tidy and move-in ready.
Practical features include secure entry, dedicated indoor bicycle storage, a modern walk-in shower, and efficient boiler heating with good thermal performance. The flat benefits from a long lease (115 years) and fast broadband connectivity — appealing for remote workers or first-time buyers who value convenience and low immediate maintenance.
Buyers should note the apartment is small (around 420–433 sq ft) and best suited to single occupants or couples. Service charges and ground rent apply (service charge approx. £2,168 pa; ground rent approx. £350 pa), and the wider area records above-average crime and relative deprivation compared with London averages. These are factual considerations for lifestyle or investment decisions.
This property is part of an affordable housing scheme with eligibility rules: buyers must live or work in the Borough of Lambeth, own no other property, and have household incomes under £90,000. That restriction makes this most relevant to qualifying local first-time buyers rather than open-market purchasers or long-term investors.
