Summary - Flat 5, Goodwin House, 1 Stanthorpe Road SW16 2ED
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Two-bedroom third-floor flat with long lease, near Streatham Station and amenities.
Third-floor position gives enhanced privacy and reduced street noise
A bright two-bedroom third-floor apartment in Streatham offering practical, modern living with strong transport links. The open reception and dining room benefits from large windows and a calm elevated position, reducing street noise and giving a sense of privacy above the road. The separate contemporary kitchen includes integrated appliances for immediate use.
Both bedrooms are doubles and one is currently used as a home study, making the layout flexible for a couple, first-time buyers or a small home-office setup. The bathroom is a full suite with storage space. The long lease (156 years) and a below-average service charge are financial positives for buyers seeking straightforward ownership costs.
There are some material considerations to note: heating is by electric storage heaters and the property relies on electricity rather than gas, which can mean higher running costs. Broadband speeds are reported as very slow, which will matter for remote working. The local area records higher crime rates and is classed as deprived, though amenities including Streatham Station, supermarkets, leisure facilities and parks are within easy walking distance.
Overall this apartment suits a buyer who values location and a ready-to-live-in flat with good transport and leisure access, and who is comfortable managing electric heating and arranging improved broadband if needed. The long lease and modest service charge make it an attractive starter-home or buy-to-let option for investors prioritising location over immediate yield.
