Description

The Property
A Rare Opportunity on Woodbourne Avenue — In the Same Family Since 1976

Set on one of Streatham’s most desirable roads, this distinguished Edwardian residence offers 3,026 sq.ft. of versatile living space across three floors, blending period elegance with modern comfort.
Lovingly owned by the same family for nearly five decades, it presents a rare chance to acquire a home of character, scale, and provenance.

A welcoming porch opens to a bright, spacious hallway, leading to two refined reception rooms at the front — each rich in charm and perfect for entertaining or quiet evenings.
To the rear, the dining room and well-appointed kitchen connect effortlessly to the garden, with a utility area and ground-floor WC adding practicality.

The first floor hosts an expansive principal bedroom with a bay window, three further generous bedrooms, a stylish family bathroom, and an additional WC.

The second floor is a true highlight — a substantial loft conversion currently configured as a 7.1 surround-sound home cinema, perfect for immersive film nights.
This space offers outstanding flexibility, easily adapted into a guest suite, teenager’s retreat, or creative studio, and includes ample built-in storage.

The landscaped, south-facing rear garden provides a private sunlit retreat, with two patio areas offering space for outdoor dining, seating, or entertaining.
To the front, a generous driveway accommodates between two and three cars, providing valuable off-street parking.

Perfectly positioned, the property is just a three-minute stroll to the open green expanse of Tooting Bec Common and an equally short walk to the vibrant shops, cafés, and amenities of Streatham High Road. Excellent schools, further green spaces, and superb transport links into central London are all within easy reach.

A spacious and versatile family home in a prime Streatham location — rarely available and rich in heritage.

Property Description Disclaimer

This is a general description of the property only, and is not intended to constitute part of an offer or contract. It has been verified by the seller(s), unless marked as 'draft'. Purplebricks conducts some valuations online and some of our customers prepare their own property descriptions, so if you decide to proceed with a viewing or an offer, please note this information may have been provided solely by the vendor, and we may not have been able to visit the property to confirm it. If you require clarification on any point then please contact us, especially if you’re traveling some distance to view. All information should be checked by your solicitor prior to exchange of contracts.

Successful buyers will be required to complete anti-money laundering and proof of funds checks. Our partner, Lifetime Legal Limited, will carry out the initial checks on our behalf. The current non-refundable cost is £80 inc. VAT per offer. You’ll need to pay this to Lifetime Legal and complete all checks before we can issue a memorandum of sale. The cost includes obtaining relevant data and any manual checks and monitoring which might be required, and includes a range of benefits. Purplebricks will receive some of the fee taken by Lifetime Legal to compensate for its role in providing these checks.
