1 bed Flat For Sale £300,000
This lovely one-bedroom apartment can be found on the second (top) floor of a purpose built development located within a respected residential setting, and would be of interest to a serious home buyer wishing to reside in a tranquil, leafy location, yet remain within comfortable travelling distance to the west end and the city. The flat is not directly overlooked providing much privacy and has the benefit of private parking. A calm, neutral colour palette provides an easy background for furnishings.
In more detail
Maple Mews is a private gated development situated only a few minutes walk from the wonderful green open spaces of Streatham Common and beautiful Rookery - surely, London's least known, but certainly one of the finest, formal gardens with adjoining woodland. Located next to the garden's entrance is a charming cafe enclosed by a picket fence that would not look out of character within an English country village setting.
Access to the flat is gained via a newly re-carpeted shared hallway and stairs leading to the second floor - being at the top provides enhanced security and free from neighbour's footsteps. An inward opening door reveals the hallway, fitted with an entryphone and two built-in cupboards, one of which provides useful storage for coats and shoes. To the right is a generous double bedroom; a wonderfully light room with splendid panoramic views. To the left is a good size living room which backs on to the gardens of Henry Tate Mews. A panelled door gives access to the stylish eat-in kitchen, fitted with a range of Shaker floor and wall units, solid wood worktop, ceramic hob, built-in oven and stainless steel extractor. Ample shelving offers opportunities to display recipe books, decorative elements as well as kitchen staples. Cabinets and walls are painted in Farrow and Ball's Skylight and pointing respectively. The bathroom includes white units, part tiled walls, mirrored cabinets and shower. Double glazed windows are fitted throughout; hot water and central heating provided by gas. The flat enjoys much privacy as none of the rooms are directly overlooked. Outside there is an allocated private parking space for one car and communal gardens. All the buildings within the Mews are constructed of brick and devoid of all cladding.
Out and about
A good selection of supermarkets and the Ice and Leisure centre are located on the high road near the Common. The centre houses an Olympic size ice skating rink, two swimming pools and gym. A tennis court is a short distance from the Rookery. The Odeon is the local multiplex cinema. Westfield Shopping Centre (Shepherd’s Bush) is accessible from Streatham Common station and takes approximately 42 minutes.
The area is served by three overground rail stations: Streatham, Streatham Common and Streatham Hill. Streatham being the nearest is a 10-15 minute walk and offers services to London Bridge with journey times of approximately 24 minutes. Streatham to Wimbledon (District Line & Tram) is approximately 10 minutes. Wimbledon to Waterloo is approximately 17 minutes.
There are also plenty of good bus connections to Brixton, Chelsea and beyond. The 249 Rookery bus stop is within a few minutes walk.
