A chain-free, freehold two-bedroom Edwardian terraced house in Streatham Vale, offering generous internal space across two floors and a private rear garden. The current owners have carried out internal modernisation, creating bright living and dining rooms and an extended kitchen with garden access — a practical layout for first-time buyers or young families.
Practical positives include potential to extend (subject to planning), double glazing, mains gas central heating and an overall large internal footprint (approximately 917 sq ft). Local transport is strong with easy access to Mitcham Eastfields and Streatham Common stations and good links into central London. Several well-regarded schools are nearby, including outstanding-rated primaries and secondaries.
Be upfront about the drawbacks: the exterior is dated and some rooms are compact with low ceilings typical of the period. The property has an EPC rating of D and the original solid brick walls are assumed to have no added insulation, which could mean higher running costs and potential upgrade work. The plot is small and the house, while newly renovated inside, may still require external and energy-efficiency improvements to reach modern standards.
Overall this is a well-located, chain-free opportunity for first-time buyers or those wanting a period property with room to personalise — immediate move-in is possible but additional works (external refresh and insulation improvements) would add long-term value.
