Description

This impressive detached family home boasts approximately 3,000 square feet of internal space and is ripe for modernisation. Retaining many original period features, the property presents a unique opportunity for substantial extensions to the rear and into the generous loft spaces, subject to planning permissions. The welcoming entrance hall leads to multiple reception rooms, including a spacious combined drawing and dining room, a breakfast room, and an eat-in kitchen. The property also features a laundry room and a bathroom on the ground floor. A significant double garage offers access from both the front and the expansive 134-foot private garden. The basement provides over 520 square feet of storage, with potential for conversion into a home cinema or playroom. The first floor accommodates four large bedrooms and a family bathroom, while the sizable loft space could be transformed to create additional living areas. Located in the Streatham Park conservation area, this property is just a short walk from local cafes, bars, and shops on Moyser Road, with Tooting Bec Common only 230 meters away.

Grade BGood opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This imposing detached family house presents a fantastic opportunity for those looking to create their dream home. With a generous 4,333 sq ft of space, the property, which is currently dated, boasts original period features and excellent potential for substantial extensions to the rear and loft (subject to planning permission). The asking price of £1,650,000 is remarkably cheap at £381/sq ft, significantly below the local average, making this a compelling acquisition for savvy investors or homeowners alike.

While the interiors require extensive refurbishment, the spacious living areas, large bedrooms, and the possibility of converting the substantial basement and loft create a canvas for a transformative renovation. The off-street parking and a sizeable garden further enhance the appeal. With a renovation budget estimated between £100,000 and £250,000, this project allows for significant value addition, potentially elevating the property to a desirable family home in a sought-after area.

Key opportunities

  • Spacious living areas with potential for modernisation and reconfiguration.
  • Substantial extension potential both to the rear and into the loft space.
  • Opportunity to convert the large basement into additional living space, such as a home cinema or playroom.

Key risks

  • Stripped interiors and a £100,000–£250,000 works budget make this a full-gut programme, not a refresh.
