This bright ground-floor one-bedroom flat sits in a period conversion on Drewstead Road, a short walk from Streatham Hill station and local shops. The bay-fronted reception and contemporary open-plan kitchen create airy, light-filled living in compact, well-presented space. At 327 sq ft the layout suits a first-time buyer seeking a low-maintenance city base or a buy-to-let investor aware of size constraints.
The apartment is newly renovated with double glazing, a modern kitchen with integrated appliances, and a contemporary white-suite shower room. Fitted wardrobes in the bedroom add storage without sacrificing floor space; wooden floors and neutral decor keep the interior move-in ready. Broadband speeds are average but mobile signal is excellent.
Important lease and location notes: the property is leasehold with around 80 years remaining — this may restrict mortgage options and could affect resale value. Service charge (£300) and ground rent (£50) are modest, but prospective buyers should obtain formal lender confirmation and legal advice on lease implications. The area records higher-than-average crime levels, so buyers should factor local safety and security measures into their decision.
Overall, this is a compact, stylish flat in a well-connected Streatham Hill location. It offers immediate comfort and low upkeep for a buyer who accepts the limited size and takes professional advice on the 80-year lease situation.
