Bright, spacious and arranged over a generous footprint of around 1,000 sq ft, this two-bedroom share-of-freehold flat combines modern open-plan living with private outdoor space — rare for Streatham. The ground-floor layout centres on a high-ceilinged living room with skylights, wide-plank floors and a kitchen island, creating a sociable hub that opens onto a long private garden and patio. A sizable detached outbuilding offers a home office, studio or gym, adding genuine flexibility for working from home.
Practical strengths include private off-street parking, two bathrooms, and proximity to both Streatham and Streatham Common stations for frequent rail links to central London. The area benefits from good schools, plentiful local amenities and fast broadband, making the flat a sensible choice for first-time buyers seeking space, outdoor access and commuter convenience.
The flat is in good decorative condition, but buyers should note its solid-brick construction (c.1900–1929) where wall insulation is assumed absent; this can affect heat retention and running costs. Double glazing is fitted though the installation date is unknown; the gas boiler and radiators provide mains-gas heating. A professional survey and current EPC should be obtained to confirm insulation and heating efficiency.
Overall, this property offers roomy, flexible accommodation and outdoor living in a convenient Streatham location. It suits purchasers prioritising space, a private garden and simple commuter access, while those sensitive to energy performance should budget for potential insulation or upgrade works after inspection.
