This split-level two-bedroom house on Greyhound Lane offers a straightforward, well-presented entry into Streatham living. With its own front door, modern internal finishes and double glazing, the home feels bright and practical from the outset. The layout suits first-time buyers seeking a manageable property with outdoor space and easy commuting options.
The large private garden and off-street parking are standout features for the area, providing outdoor living and secure access that are hard to find at this price. At about 640 sq ft, the accommodation is compact but usable: a well-lit living/dining area, a galley-style kitchen and two bedrooms distributed over split levels. Energy rating C and gas central heating keep running costs reasonable.
Location is a major draw — moments from Streatham Common and Streatham Common station with good rail links into the City, plus plentiful local shops, cafés and several highly rated schools nearby. Practical considerations include a single bathroom, the solid-brick construction which likely lacks wall insulation, and the property sits within a more deprived area with average crime levels. Tenure is share of freehold and council tax band C is relatively affordable.
This home will suit first-time buyers or professionals wanting a commuter base with an unusually large garden for the neighbourhood. It offers clear potential to add value with modest retrofit or reconfiguration, while delivering immediate usable living space and outdoor privacy.
