Set across three levels and just under 1,300 sq ft, this spacious three-double-bedroom maisonette feels like a house but with the convenience of a flat. The large reception room is bright thanks to a generous window and high ceilings; the rear kitchen-diner leads down to a private garden, offering outdoor space rarely found at this size. The property benefits from its own front door and internal stairs to the upper floors, giving a sense of independence and flexibility for family life.
Upstairs a large top-floor bedroom includes a small kitchenette, en-suite shower and a roof terrace — a useful private retreat or potential rental/annexe space. Two further double bedrooms are on the first floor, one retaining a period fireplace and two windows. There are two bathrooms in total, and the layout is well suited to families or sharers who value separate living and sleeping zones.
Buyers should note material points before viewing: the lease has 84 years remaining and will need prompt renewal action, which can affect mortgageability and cost. The building is of solid brick construction with assumed no cavity insulation, so the home may require updating for improved energy performance. Service charge is c.£1,092 per year (£91 monthly) and council tax is band D.
Located off Streatham Hill (the ABCD roads), the home is convenient for Streatham High Road amenities and frequent trains from Streatham Hill and Tulse Hill into central London. Local schools include several rated Good or Outstanding, making this a practical choice for families seeking space, character and outdoor access within an established inner-city neighbourhood.
