One of the best things about it is the space on offer. The ground floor has a breakfast room next to the kitchen, a separate lounge and a formal dining room.
With the traditional downstairs layout there’s scope for opening it all up or even extending. That would create a flexible open space for cooking, dining and relaxing that’s in tune with modern life.
Upstairs there’s two double bedrooms and a single that could also make a great home office.
There’s a tiled bathroom with a shower over the bath and a separate w/c. Some people love having a separate toilet - it can certainly be handy with everyone rushing to get out in the morning. If you prefer a single larger room it’s not going to break the bank or cause too much upheaval to knock through.
Outside there’s a front lawn, with off-street parking on the drive in front of the single garage.
To the rear there’s a back garden that’s a mix of paving and lawn - just the right size for a family to enjoy (big enough to play outside without spending all summer mowing!).
If you’re looking to go beyond simple cosmetic updating and are thinking about extensions, there’s plenty of scope to build over the garage to transform the first floor.
As suggested above, you could steal a little space at the rear to create an even more impressive open-plan living area.
And the sky’s the limit should you choose to go up in the loft - creating additional bedroom space with Velux windows or even a dormer.
Others on the street have made all of these improvements - but of course, you will need to seek planning permission first.
Properties like this make fabulous family homes and this quiet street is perfectly positioned. It's only 9 minutes walk from the “Outstanding” Telferscot Primary School.
If you like your outdoor green space, Tooting Bec Common is also less than 10 minutes walk away. It’s ideal for playing with the kids, walking the dog or a Saturday morning park run.
It’s only a 10 minute walk to Streatham High Road - buzzing with independent shops, cafes and restaurants, as well as Streatham Hill station. From there you can jump on an overland train which will whisk you to Victoria in under 20 minutes. Alternatively, Balham and Clapham South Station are only 20 minute's walk away providing you access to the Northern Line.
If you’re a couple or a young family looking for a well-built blank canvas then your creative juices will be flowing thinking about how you can turn this into a stunning dream home.
You need to have the vision, the budget and not be afraid of some mess and upheaval…but if this sounds like your perfect property project call us to arrange a viewing.
