Fayland Avenue, London, SW16

Set on the upper floor of Shelburne House and served by a lift, this bright and well-presented home is ready to move into. A new boiler in the flat and a recently renewed roof to the building provide peace of mind for years ahead. Inside, a calm reception opens to a private south-west facing balcony that catches the afternoon and evening sun—perfect for an easy supper or unwinding after work. There’s comfortable space to dine and the outlook is pleasingly leafy.

A separate kitchen sits alongside the living space with generous worktops, plenty of cabinetry and a practical layout for everyday cooking. Both bedrooms are genuine doubles, each with fitted wardrobes; the principal has extensive storage while the second makes a great guest room or work-from-home space. The bathroom is neatly finished with built-in storage, an over-bath shower and a heated towel rail. A welcoming hallway, double-glazed windows and tasteful décor throughout add to the move-in feel.

Shelburne House is tucked just off Streatham High Road, placing shops, cafés and everyday conveniences on the doorstep. Streatham Hill, Streatham and Streatham Common stations are all within easy reach for fast links to Victoria, London Bridge, Blackfriars and St Pancras via Thameslink, while Tooting Bec (Northern Line) is also walkable. Frequent buses run along the High Road, and wide green spaces at Tooting Bec Common are close by, with Brockwell Park a short ride away. Local favourites include independent spots along the High Road, from brunch cafés to friendly pubs and wine bars.
