This top-floor one-bedroom apartment sits in a handsome period building moments from Tooting Common, ideal for a first-time buyer wanting green space and strong transport links. The bright, spacious reception benefits from high ceilings, wooden floors and built-in shelving, flowing into a fitted kitchen with integrated appliances. The front double bedroom includes built-in storage; a full-sized bathroom completes the layout. At about 515 sq ft it offers practical, well-laid-out living space for city life.
Ownership is simple: share of freehold with around 961 years remaining on the lease, giving long-term security. Streatham Hill overground is roughly 0.3 miles away and Balham (Northern Line) under 1 mile, making commutes into central London straightforward. Local amenities on Streatham High Road and excellent green space at Tooting Common are immediate benefits for leisure and everyday shopping.
Buyers should note some material drawbacks. The property has an EPC rating of D and the building’s original solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated, so heating costs may be higher than newer stock. The building is mid-terrace Victorian stock and the flat occupies the top (second) floor — stair access only. The wider area records higher-than-average local crime levels, which prospective buyers should consider.
Overall this apartment offers a secure, long-lease opportunity in a popular south London location. It suits first-time buyers seeking character, nearby transport and green space, or buy-to-let investors comfortable with modest energy performance and urban-area considerations.
