Description

This semi-detached Edwardian house presents an excellent opportunity for renovation and investment, spread over three spacious levels plus a useful basement. With its classic architectural elements—including high ceilings, sash windows, decorative coving, and original fireplaces—this property serves as a blank canvas for individuals looking to modernize while preserving its period charm. On the ground floor, a traditional hallway connects two generously proportioned reception rooms to the kitchen at the rear, complemented by a guest WC. The sizable garden extends beyond the house, offering ample space for landscaping or outdoor entertaining, making it an ideal setting for families or gatherings. The first floor features three well-sized bedrooms along with a family bathroom. On the top floor, there are two additional bedrooms that could be reimagined into a luxurious principal suite. The basement provides extra room for storage or a workshop, while the loft area could be adapted for further use as needed. Given its size and layout, this property holds significant potential for extensions—both rear and side return—as well as loft development (subject to planning permission). Located just moments from Streatham Common, with its scenic woodland walks and The Rookery Gardens, the house is ideally situated for everyday conveniences on Streatham High Road. Residents can enjoy a variety of independent cafés, restaurants, pubs, and supermarkets nearby. Transport links are strong with both Streatham Common and Streatham stations offering quick connections into central London destinations such as London Bridge, Blackfriars, Farringdon, and Victoria. Additionally, local bus services provide easy access to Brixton (Victoria Line). The area is served by reputable schools and nurseries, appealing to families seeking quality education options. For those commuting by car, access to major routes like the A23 and South Circular is straightforward. This property stands out as a noteworthy project for buyers eager to create a personalized living space while capitalizing on its investment potential in a desirable location.
