Light and practical two-bedroom apartment in a well-connected SW2 location, ideal for first-time buyers seeking green space and transport links. The reception room retains period character with wooden floorboards and a decorative fireplace, while both bedrooms are good-sized doubles — the principal bedroom opens onto a private balcony. A second balcony at the front provides extra outdoor space. The separate kitchen has built-in units and integrated appliances; the bathroom is a standard three-piece with a bath. Overall size is about 662 sq ft.
The flat sits on the second floor of a mid-terrace block built in the 1930s–1940s and benefits from double glazing and mains gas central heating (boiler and radiators). EPC rating C suggests reasonable energy performance, though the building’s solid brick walls are assumed to lack cavity insulation, so buyers should expect potential improvement costs if reducing bills or boosting comfort is a priority. Council tax is described as low and broadband and mobile signals are strong.
Location is a genuine selling point: Tooting Bec Common is nearby for outdoor space, and Streatham High Road, Balham and Brixton amenities and stations are all within easy reach, with Streatham Hill and Balham stations providing good rail links. Practical notes for purchase: the property is leasehold with approximately 90 years remaining, a ground rent of about £10 (details unknown) and average local crime; the wider area is classified as deprived, which may affect resale timing. These factors make the flat attractive to buyers looking for value and convenience but mean mortgage and long-term ownership costs should be checked carefully.
