Property details

A larger than average, split level, one-bedroom conversion flat occupying the first and second floors of one of the attractive, semi-detached houses on Drewstead Road. The property has a generous square footage with over 600 square feet of internal floor space and instantly feels like a home, the moment you walk through the door.

On entering the property and into the large, open-plan reception room, you are struck by how bright and airy the space is, thanks to French doors that allow natural light to flood the room. This is a well-executed room that provides plenty of space in which to relax and dine. The space flows effortlessly onto the sunny, South-West facing private balcony – a wonderfully peaceful spot that overlooks the leafy neighbouring gardens to the rear. The galley kitchen is sleek and stylish, and complete with all the mod cons and storage you may need.

Upstairs, the double bedroom is a generous size, tucked away quietly to the rear of the house and benefits from some fantastic storage in the form of bespoke fitted wardrobes. The contemporary bathroom is just adjacent, benefitting from a separate bath and shower. The property has been lovingly cared for by the current owners and is presented tastefully, ready for a purchaser to move in hassle-free and add their own touch.

The flat is nestled in a popular residential pocket of Streatham Hill, with Tooting Bec Common and its iconic Lido at the end of the road itself. Streatham Hill station is a two-minute walk with direct trains into Clapham Junction, Victoria and London Bridge. There are a wide range of fantastic local amenities on the doorstep of this lovely property. Streatham's vibrant high street with an array of restaurants, cafes, bars, popular schools and shopping facilities are all within easy reach.

Within walking distance or a short bus ride, are also the centres of Clapham, Balham and Brixton. In one direction is everything that Brixton has to offer, from music venues and the culinary delights of Brixton Village to large brand-shops and cracking transport links, first stop on the Victoria Line. Multiple buses run up and down the High Road and Brixton Hill, whisking you down to the tube within minutes. In the other direction is leafy Balham and its multitude of restaurants and bars. There are excellent transport links with the Northern Line at Balham underground station, as well as National Rail services and numerous bus routes to other areas of London. Streatham Common is within walking distance and having the South Circular on your doorstep is perfect for anyone with a car. Early registration of interest is advised.
