Bright two-bedroom garden flat near Streatham Common station — long lease and loft potential.
Private south-west facing garden with sole use
Set within a handsome Edwardian terrace just moments from Streatham Common Station, this well-presented two-bedroom garden flat offers comfortable living and commuter convenience. The reception room’s high ceilings and bay window create an airy feel; a bespoke built-in hallway cupboard and a high-spec kitchen and bathroom add practical, modern touches. The kitchen leads directly to a private south-west facing garden — a sunny, low-maintenance outdoor space for evening relaxation or small-scale entertaining.
At around 521 sq ft, the flat is compact but efficiently arranged; one bedroom is currently used as a study, suiting a home-worker or small family. There is clear scope to increase value: access to the loft with potential to extend (subject to planning permission) could add another bedroom and bathroom if approved. The property benefits from a very long lease (share of freehold, 956 years remaining), double glazing and fast broadband — useful for commuters and families.
Practical considerations are straightforward: the building dates from the early 20th century with solid-brick walls (assumed uninsulated), and the overall size is modest, so buyers should expect limited storage and living space compared with larger flats. The local area has pockets of deprivation and average crime levels; nonetheless the immediate location is popular with commuters and families due to excellent transport links (around 200m to the station) and nearby schools ranked Good to Outstanding. This flat suits someone seeking a well-finished, characterful home with garden access and realistic potential to add value.
