Streatham Road, SW16

 
A house that knows exactly what it's for.

Some homes are just square footage. This one, tucked on the Streatham/Tooting/Furzedown borders, is something else entirely... it's been a genuine family home, and it shows in all the right ways.

Step in and the layout does the talking: a bright, sociable kitchen built for morning chaos and quiet Sunday mornings alike, opening through to a dining space that's perfect for entertaining family and friends. The parquet floors underfoot have that warmth that no show home ever quite manages.

Upstairs, the bathroom might just steal the show... a 'stand alone' bathtub and a separate walk-in shower, because nobody should have to choose. It's the kind of room that turns a weekday evening into a small event you look forward to.

Then there's the things that makes you start doing sums in your head. The garage isn't a garage anymore... it's a fully powered office (or studio, or guest room, or whatever you need it to be) with its own cloakroom. There's a loft still waiting for someone to finish what the current owners started dreaming about. And there's air conditioning already in, which - let's be honest - is quickly going from "nice extra" to "why doesn't every house have this."

But ask the sellers who've actually lived here what they'll miss most, and it's the location, it's the space, the flow and most definitely...it's the garden. Ask them, and they won't hesitate.

Three bedrooms. A wonderful family bathroom. Splendid well balanced space throughout. A garden people genuinely don't want to leave, including that converted garage that offers you options. And a location that puts Tooting, Streatham, and Furzedown all within easy reach.

Some houses you view. This one you'll want to move into before you've even left.
