Streatham High Road, London, SW16

The High remains one of Streatham’s most celebrated architectural landmarks, a striking 1930s Art Deco mansion block that captures the glamour and scale of its era. This well proportioned two bedroom apartment is situated on the second floor, offering a bright and elevated perspective over the vibrant surroundings. The building is renowned for its wide communal hallways and meticulous upkeep, including the rare convenience of a weekday refuse collection service directly from the apartment door.

Internal accommodation is accessed via a central hallway with warm wood effect flooring that continues through much of the home. The living room is a particular highlight, measuring over 18ft in length and featuring a characteristic wide bay window that floods the space with afternoon light. This generous room provides ample space for both a formal seating area and a dining table, making it an ideal environment for entertaining. The separate kitchen is efficiently designed in a galley style, fitted with a range of cabinetry and classic tiled splashbacks.

Both bedrooms are genuine doubles, a testament to the generous floor plates found in buildings of this period. The primary bedroom is especially spacious, providing plenty of room for large wardrobes and additional storage. The bathroom is finished with clean white tiling and a full size bath with an overhead shower. Throughout the property, the neutral decor and large windows create a sense of calm and volume that serves as a quiet retreat from the bustling High Road below.

Perfectly positioned for a modern urban lifestyle, The High sits in the very heart of Streatham. Residents have an incredible array of independent cafés, artisanal bakeries, and major supermarkets right on their doorstep, alongside popular gyms and restaurants. Transport connectivity is exceptional, with Streatham Hill station providing swift links into London Victoria and Streatham station offering Thameslink services directly to the City and beyond. For those seeking the outdoors, the wide open spaces of both Streatham Common and Tooting Bec Common are within easy reach, offering everything from woodland walks to the famous lido.
