1 bed 1 bath Flat
Move-in-ready home near Streatham station and local amenities.
Spacious open-plan reception and contemporary kitchen
Generous double bedroom and stylish white-suite bathroom
542 sq ft — average-sized one-bedroom flat
About 80 years left on lease; lenders may refuse mortgage
Ground rent £600 per year — comparatively expensive
Solid brick walls likely uninsulated; insulation may be required
Moments from Streatham station, shops, supermarkets and parks
Area has above-average crime and higher local deprivation
This well-presented one-bedroom flat sits in a grand Victorian conversion on Hopton Road, a short walk from Streatham station and High Road amenities. The open-plan reception and contemporary kitchen give a modern feel, while the generous double bedroom and stylish bathroom provide comfortable everyday living.
Practical benefits include fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and proximity to large supermarkets, leisure facilities and green space at Streatham Common. The property’s solid brick construction, double glazing and gas central heating are straightforward and familiar systems for city living.
Important practical drawbacks are stated plainly: the lease has about 80 years remaining, which may affect mortgage availability and resale value; ground rent is £600 per year; and walls are assumed to be uninsulated solid brick, so energy efficiency upgrades might be needed. Crime levels in the area are above average and the broader neighbourhood shows signs of deprivation.
This flat will suit a buyer seeking a well-located, move-in-ready one-bedroom with scope to improve energy performance and long-term value. First-time buyers should check lender criteria for the remaining lease length; investors should factor in the ground rent and local market conditions.
