Summary - 48A RECTORY LANE LONDON SW17 9PY
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Private garden and short walk to Tooting Common — ideal for first-time buyers.
Newly renovated throughout with contemporary kitchen and bathroom
A newly renovated one-bedroom ground-level apartment offering a rare private garden and generous living spaces for its size. The conversion keeps period character — bay window and fireplace — while introducing a contemporary kitchen and modern finishes throughout.
Practical benefits include a very long lease (share of freehold), efficient gas central heating, double glazing, and easy access to Tooting Broadway and Streatham Common stations for central London links. At 557 sq ft the layout includes a separate dining room that increases usable space compared with a typical one-bedroom.
Location is lively and well served by schools and green space, but note the neighbourhood records above-average crime and higher area deprivation than average. The building’s timber-frame construction is recorded as uninsulated (assumed), so buyers should consider insulation and potential energy-efficiency improvements despite the recent renovation.
This property suits a first-time buyer or investor looking for a low-maintenance, characterful ground-floor home with outside space and long lease security. Buyers who prioritise quiet or maximum thermal performance should factor in potential improvement works.
