Summary - Flat 1, 42 Ambleside Avenue SW16 1QP
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Generous rooms and private garden moments from Streatham transport links.
2 double bedrooms with generous lateral space
Set within a detached Victorian building, this two-bedroom ground-floor flat offers generous lateral space and a private garden — rare for this style. The reception room is notably large with high ceilings and period brickwork, while the open-plan kitchen/dining area opens out to the garden via bi-fold doors, creating a relaxed indoor-outdoor flow. At about 831 sq ft, the layout suits a young family or professionals working from home.
Practical details are straightforward: double glazing, mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, and a long lease (157 years). Nearby Streatham and Streatham Hill stations provide direct links into central London, and local amenities include tree-lined streets, shops and several highly rated primary and secondary schools within easy reach.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold property with an annual service charge (approx. £1,200) and a small ground rent (£55). The building’s solid brick walls are likely uninsulated as originally constructed, so buyers wanting maximum energy efficiency may wish to budget for insulation or upgrading works. There is a single bathroom and some Victorian features may need ongoing maintenance.
Overall, the flat balances character, generous room proportions and outdoor space in a convenient Streatham location — attractive to families and first-time buyers seeking scope to personalise while enjoying strong local transport and schooling options.
