Ground-floor one-bedroom flat with private rear garden
Set on the ground floor in a sought-after Streatham Common location, this one-bedroom leasehold flat offers an affordable entry into SW16.

The flat requires modernisation throughout, providing a blank canvas for a buyer to update to their own taste. Practical details include double glazing fitted after 2002, mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, and a cheap council tax band, which help reduce running costs. EPC rating D and assumed uninsulated cavity walls highlight clear scope for energy-efficiency improvements.
Transport links, local shops and Streatham Common are all within easy reach, and nearby schools include several rated Outstanding and Good, which will appeal to buyers prioritising schooling. Low local crime, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband make the property suitable for commuting and home-working.
This is a straightforward purchase for a first-time buyer or investor prepared to undertake cosmetic and energy upgrades. The ground-floor position and garden add practical appeal, but the renovation requirement and leasehold tenure should be factored into budgets and plans.
