Open-plan reception/kitchen with warm wooden floors and good natural light
Bedroom with elevated views and practical eaves storage
Bathroom plus separate cloakroom and dedicated utility/laundry room
Leasehold with long term remaining (approx. 167 years)
Solid brick construction assumed to lack insulation — potential heating costs
Small-to-average internal area; best for single occupant or couple
Local area records higher crime levels; consider location safety
Set on the top floor of a handsome Edwardian building, this split-level one-bedroom apartment combines period character with practical living. A striking stained-glass window and warm wooden floors give the home personality, while the open-plan reception/kitchen creates a sociable, light-filled living space.
The bedroom sits on the upper level and benefits from elevated neighbourhood views and useful eaves storage, making the layout feel larger than the floor area suggests. Practical additions include a separate cloakroom and a dedicated laundry/utility room — convenient extras rarely found in flats this size.
The property is offered leasehold with a very long remaining term (c.167 years) and sits close to Streatham Hill and Balham stations, with easy access to local cafés, shops and green space at Tooting Bec Common. Note the surrounding area records higher-than-average crime levels and the building’s solid-brick walls are assumed to have no insulation, which may affect heating efficiency and future running costs.
Overall this compact apartment is well suited to a first-time buyer or couple looking for character, convenience and a manageable home close to strong transport links. The internal space is small-to-average for a one-bedroom, so viewings are recommended to judge layout and natural light in person.
