The area on the move, with its’ distinctive avenues of red brick and tiled, elegant, late Victorian terraced houses. The high street has had its ups and downs: the Romans paved it, the Saxons renamed it, the seventies destroyed it and the noughties begun a steady rebuilding of reputation which continues today with the new Streatham Hub development, the world famous Hideaway Jazz bar and a multitude of bars and cafes sprouting up or undergoing improvements. Streatham Common, Streatham Green and the Tooting Commons are all on hand with the latter being enormous and offering all that one hopes for, from running track to lido to tennis courts and much more at a five minute trot from central Streatham.

Property details
Keating Estates are proud to present this handsome four double bedroom, two bathroom Edwardian family home, complete with a sunny south-facing garden, nestled on Streatham's sought-after ABC roads. Set within a well-established residential neighbourhood, the property enjoys a peaceful setting just moments from the excellent amenities, cafés, restaurants and transport links of Streatham High Road, offering the perfect balance of suburban charm and everyday convenience.
Set behind an attractive red-brick Edwardian façade, this charming three storey home enjoys excellent kerb appeal with elegant bay windows, a characterful gabled roofline and a neatly maintained front garden bordered by mature hedging. Beautiful period architecture and timeless proportions create an inviting first impression, while the enclosed front garden adds both privacy and a welcoming entrance.
Stepping inside, a welcoming entrance hall immediately showcases the generous proportions synonymous with Edwardian homes. High ceilings create an immediate sense of space, whilst an attractive staircase, complete with a stylish runner, guides you through the home.
To the front, an elegant double reception room provides a wonderful setting for both relaxing and entertaining. A beautiful bay window fitted with plantation shutters fills the room with natural light, highlighting the calming blue décor, painted up to the picture rail to accentuate the impressive ceiling height. Sleek flooring runs throughout and a feature fireplace creates an attractive focal point. To the rear of the reception, the dining area opens through French doors onto the side return, creating an effortless connection with the garden.
Beyond, the impressive dine-in kitchen forms the heart of the home. Bathed in natural light thanks to its dual aspect, with three double glazed sash windows and French doors opening directly onto the garden, this beautifully designed space effortlessly combines style and practicality. Sleek contemporary cabinetry offers plentiful storage, whilst a substantial central island, complete with a gas hob and extractor above, creates a sociable focal point for everyday living. A Neff double oven caters to keen home cooks, and there is ample space for a generous dining table, making this an ideal room for everything from family breakfasts to larger gatherings, with underfloor heating adding to the comfort.
The south-facing garden enjoys sunshine throughout much of the day and offers an inviting outdoor space with plenty of potential for the next owners to make it their own. The side return adds practicality, whilst a garden shed provides useful storage for outdoor equipment. Completing the ground floor is a convenient guest WC, a welcome addition for busy family life and visiting guests alike.
The first floor offers three well-proportioned double bedrooms. The impressive second bedroom spans the front of the property and is currently arranged as an additional reception room, demonstrating the flexibility of the accommodation. A beautiful bay window fitted with plantation shutters, complemented by an additional window, allows natural light to stream in, creating an exceptionally bright and inviting space that could equally serve as a luxurious bedroom or elegant sitting room. Two further double bedrooms overlook the peaceful rear garden.
A stylish family bathroom with underfloor heating serves this floor, finished with light blue glazed tiles and thoughtfully designed to include both a separate bath and a walk-in rainfall shower. A double glazed frosted sash window allows natural ventilation whilst maintaining privacy.
Occupying the entire top floor, the principal suite provides a peaceful retreat away from the rest of the home. Fitted wardrobes offer excellent built-in storage, whilst the contemporary open plan shower and wash basin create a luxurious feel. A separate WC adds further convenience, and generous eaves storage provides ample space for lesser used belongings. A charming arched window fitted with shutters completes this characterful suite.
