LOCATION:

I reckon you'll be very surprised by how quiet this area is. No wonder the "ABC" roads are so popular. Of course the road-quietening measures that have been put in place (beware of these when you come to view the maisonette) have significantly reduced any traffic noise, but even the railway line that runs behind this property is in such a deep cutting that all you hear is a brief hum as the trains go by, and you can't see them at all. And it is so brilliantly convenient! There is an array of shops, eateries and bars along the A23 Streatham Hill at the bottom of the road, and trains from the local Southern Railways station, which is no more than a five-minute walk away, will whisk you to Clapham Junction in around ten minutes and Victoria in less than twenty..
