Set within an Edwardian terrace on a quiet Streatham street, this chain-free two-double-bedroom flat offers a rare combination of period character, private outdoor space and off-street parking. The open-plan kitchen/reception maximises the flat’s footprint and opens onto a decked garden with dual access — a practical setup for indoor-outdoor living and straightforward entertaining.
The apartment is comfortably sized at approximately 643 sq ft and retains period features such as high ceilings and large windows that deliver good natural light. Heating is by mains-gas boiler and radiators; double glazing was installed after 2002. Nearby green space is a major draw — Tooting Bec and Streatham Commons are a short walk away — and local transport links (Streatham and Streatham Common stations) put central London within easy reach.
Important practical details: the property is leasehold, chain free, with an annual ground rent of £350 and no service charge stated. The building dates from 1900–1929 and has solid brick walls assumed to be without insulation, so buyers should factor potential retrofit costs to improve thermal performance. There is one bathroom and modest storage, and the surrounding area scores as deprived with above-average local crime statistics — worth considering for those prioritising safety or looking to renovate for resale.
This home will suit first-time buyers or buyers seeking a period flat with garden and parking who are prepared to carry out light modernisation and energy-efficiency improvements. Its location, outdoor space and transport connections deliver genuine everyday convenience, while being sold chain free makes for a quicker, simpler purchase process.
