Compact overall size — approximately 342 sq ft

This freshly renovated one-bedroom flat sits on the first floor of an Edwardian semi-detached building in the heart of Streatham Hill. The open-plan kitchen–living room and contemporary sunroom with large windows create a bright, airy feel and provide direct access to a large communal garden — a rare outdoor asset for a central location.
Practical strengths include a very long lease (approximately 985 years) with a share of freehold, double glazing, gas central heating, and modern fittings throughout. The flat is well placed for Tooting Bec Common, local shops, cafés and Streatham Hill station, making it convenient for commuting and weekend leisure.
Important drawbacks are also clear: the overall internal size is small (about 342 sq ft), and the wider area records higher crime levels, which may concern some buyers. Construction is solid brick with assumed no cavity insulation; broadband speeds are average. There is a service charge figure noted (circa £1,000) but details and frequency are unclear and should be confirmed.
This home suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking a low-maintenance, ready-to-move-in one-bed with outdoor access and excellent local amenities. Inspect to judge space, feel for neighbourhood safety, and confirm service charge and any communal maintenance arrangements before committing.
