Summary - 257 Tankerville Road, London, SW16 SW16 5LL
5 bed 2 bath Semi-Detached
Large plot with parking and strong renovation upside near Streatham Common.
Five bedrooms across three floors, substantial family footprint
A substantial five-bedroom Victorian family home offering considerable scope to create a bespoke living space. The generous footprint spans three floors with two large reception rooms, a big kitchen and a cellar — ideal for storage or conversion. The paved front provides rare off-street parking and the private rear garden enjoys a calm, open aspect backing onto local green space.
The house is unmodernised and requires comprehensive refurbishment: expect works to kitchens, bathrooms, decoration and likely some mechanical updates. Period features such as bay windows, cornicing and a decorative fireplace provide strong character and a solid base for a sympathetic renovation or extension (subject to consents).
Location is a major strength for family buyers: moments from Streatham Common and Rookery Gardens, close to Streatham Common station with good links into central London, and within reach of several highly rated schools. Local amenities include cafés, shops, leisure facilities and frequent buses to Balham and Brixton.
Practical considerations: the property is freehold with double glazing fitted since 2002 and mains gas central heating, but it sits in an area classed as deprived and council tax is noted as expensive. Buyers should factor renovation budgets, potential planning permissions, and the usual uncertainties of older solid-brick construction into their plans.
