Situated in the heart of Streatham Hill, this split-level one-bedroom flat combines period character with a modern open-plan kitchen and bright reception room. The property measures approximately 593 sq ft and benefits from large bedroom windows, double glazing fitted post-2002, and gas central heating via a boiler and radiators.
This sale is by auction (prior purchase possible). The lease has around 80 years remaining and a high ground rent of £600 per year; mortgage lenders may refuse to lend, making this most suitable for cash buyers or investors prepared to manage lease issues. Annual running details: mains gas, average broadband speeds, and excellent mobile signal.
Practical points are clear: the building dates from the 1930–1949 period with solid brick walls (no assumed insulation), and the local area records higher crime levels. The flat offers good access to Streatham Hill station, Streatham High Road amenities and Tooting Bec Common, making it convenient for commuters and leisure. Buyers should budget for potential insulation or renovation works and confirm mortgageability before bidding.
