Light-filled one-bedroom flat set within a handsome period building on Mitcham Lane. The reception room benefits from large windows and high ceilings, creating an airy living space that flows visually to the attractive communal garden. The separate fitted kitchen and contemporary bathroom are tidy and move-in ready, and the bedroom includes built-in storage for practical everyday use.
This apartment is well positioned for travel into central London, with Streatham station close by and easy access to Tooting Bec Common and local cafés. Broadband and mobile signal are both strong, supporting home working or streaming. The long lease (138 years) and low ground rent (£25) make the tenure straightforward for buyers and investors.
Notable practical points: heating is via electric storage heaters and the building likely has solid brick walls with no cavity insulation, which may mean higher energy bills than modern systems. Crime in the immediate area is above average—buyers should consider security measures. The flat is compact at approximately 461 sq ft, best suited to a single occupant or couple seeking a central South London base.
Overall this is a well-presented, low-maintenance period flat with garden access and excellent transport links. It will appeal to first-time buyers and buy-to-let investors looking for a manageable property in a well-connected location, provided they accept electric heating and the area's local crime profile.
