Lewin Road, Streatham

Oaks Estate Agents are delighted to present this bright and well-proportioned two-bedroom split-level flat on Lewin Road in Streatham, SW16. Set within an attractive red-brick period conversion, the flat offers approximately 630 sq ft of accommodation across the first and second floors. The layout gives the property much of its appeal, with a generous living and entertaining space on the first floor and both bedrooms and the bathroom tucked away upstairs.

The first floor opens into a spacious reception room and kitchen measuring approximately 205 by 158. Large sash windows draw in natural light and look out across the neighbouring rooftops, with room to put a dining table by the windows and still have a separate seating area. The fitted kitchen has a gas hob, built-in oven and tiled splashback. A peninsula provides extra worktop space and gives the kitchen its own distinct area while keeping it open to the reception room, a practical layout whether you’re cooking during the week or having friends over for dinner.

On the second floor, the principal bedroom measures approximately 164 by 129. A sash window and skylight bring light in from two angles, while the sloping ceiling and recessed shelving give the room character. The second bedroom is a useful extra space for overnight guests, a nursery or a dedicated home office, particularly if you want to keep your desk out of the living room. Both bedrooms are served by a modern tiled bathroom with a bath, overhead shower and heated towel rail.

Lewin Road is well placed for enjoying this part of Streatham. The open spaces of Streatham Common are close by for a morning run, a weekend picnic or a walk up to the landscaped gardens at The Rookery. Streatham High Road is also nearby, with independent cafés, pubs and supermarkets for the weekly shop. Streatham Ice and Leisure Centre adds a swimming pool, gym and ice rink to the mix, all within the local neighbourhood.

The commute is another reason to look at this part of SW16. Streatham Common station offers direct Southern trains to London Victoria and Clapham Junction, with Victoria handy for the West End and Clapham Junction useful for onward connections across south-west London. Streatham station gives you a second route, with direct trains to London Bridge and Thameslink services to City Thameslink for the City. Having two stations nearby gives you flexibility depending on where you need to be.
