Compact Victorian maisonette with south-facing garden and excellent commuter links.
Two bedrooms and traditional reception with period features
Set on a peaceful, tree-lined Furzedown street, this ground-floor two-bedroom maisonette offers a compact, characterful home with a private south-facing garden. Period details — fireplaces, sash windows and ceiling mouldings — bring charm to the bright front reception and main bedroom, while the kitchen opens directly onto the garden for easy indoor–outdoor flow.
At around 612 sq ft, the layout suits a commuter couple or small family who value location over expansive internal space. Streatham Common station is approximately 0.4 miles away, providing fast links to Balham, Clapham Junction and Victoria. Several well-regarded primary and secondary schools are within easy reach, including Outstanding-rated options ideal for families.
Practical points are favourable: the lease has about 147 years remaining and council tax is described as cheap. The building is solid-brick Victorian construction with double glazing; heating is mains gas via a boiler and radiators. Energy performance may be affected by the age of the walls and unknown insulation levels, so buyers considering long-term running costs or major upgrades should budget accordingly.
This property suits buyers seeking a well-located period home with outdoor space and strong commuter/school links, and those happy to accept a smaller overall footprint. It also presents straightforward potential for improvement (insulation, cosmetic modernisation) while retaining much of its original character.
