Set on Streatham High Road, this compact top-floor flat offers an economical entry into SW16 living. At about 412 sq ft, the one-bedroom apartment combines period character — high ceilings and bay windows — with a modern fitted kitchen and bathroom, making it move-in ready for a first-time buyer or an investor seeking a straightforward let.
The property is chain free and seconds from Streatham station, with direct links to Clapham Junction, Balham, Victoria and London Bridge. Local shops, pubs and Streatham Common are all within easy walking distance, and nearby schools include several Ofsted-rated outstanding primaries and secondaries.
Important practical points: the building dates from before 1900 and walls are timber frame with assumed no insulation, which may affect heating efficiency and future upgrade costs. The flat is leasehold — buyers should confirm remaining term, service charges and ground rent. The area has higher crime rates and parts are classified as deprived, so budget for security and be realistic about rental yield expectations.
Overall, this small but well-presented apartment suits a first-time buyer wanting central Streatham convenience or an investor after a low-entry purchase. Its strengths are location, transport links and modern fittings; its drawbacks are size, potential retrofit costs and leasehold considerations that need checking prior to commitment.
