Summary - Gleneagle Road, SW16 SW16 6AY
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Bright one-bedroom home near stations and green spaces, chain free with long lease.
Private rear garden with mature planting and fencing for privacy
Set on the ground floor of a period semi-detached building, this one-bedroom flat has a bright open-plan kitchen/dining/living room and a private rear garden. Period features such as a Victorian bay, fireplace and mouldings give character, while a modern shower room provides contemporary convenience. The property totals about 442 sq ft and comes chain free with a very long lease of 174 years.
The location is well connected: Streatham Common, Tooting Bec and local stations are within easy reach, and everyday amenities including supermarkets, gyms and cafes are nearby. Mobile signal is excellent and broadband speeds are fast, supporting home working and streaming. Several highly rated primary and secondary schools are within the local area.
Practical points to note: the building’s solid brick walls are likely uninsulated, and double glazing installation date is unknown, which may affect heating costs despite an EPC rating of C and mains-gas radiators. The area records above-average crime and sits in a deprived local authority area, factors to weigh alongside the price and convenience.
This flat suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking an entry-level London home with period character, outdoor space and potential to improve energy performance. The long lease, chain-free status and central location make it straightforward to move into or rent out, though modest ongoing maintenance or retrofit works could improve comfort and running costs.
