Set across the upper floors of a Victorian mid-terrace on Streatham Hill’s sought-after ABCD roads, this split-level two-bedroom apartment combines generous proportions and original period detail. High ceilings, bay windows and multiple fireplaces give the principal rooms character and plenty of natural light. The flat is chain free and arranged with a separate dine-in kitchen, a bright reception room and two double bedrooms.
The property is large for a two-bedroom (c.994 sqft) and includes a garden — rare for flats of this size — making it suitable for buyers who want outside space without a house. It sits within walking distance of Tooting Bec Common and Streatham Hill station, with fast transport links into central London and a wide range of shops, cafés and amenities on Streatham High Road.
The apartment requires renovation and updating throughout, which presents clear potential to add value but will need time and budget. It is leasehold with around 70 years remaining; this is a material issue as some mortgage lenders may refuse to lend and buyers should seek specialist mortgage and legal advice. The building is of solid brick construction and has traditional gas boiler heating.
Ideal for a first-time buyer comfortable managing a renovation, or an investor seeking a long-term project, this flat offers period charm, space and a convenient location — provided buyers factor in lease extension costs and refurbishment work.
