Goodman Crescent, London, SW2

Tucked away in a small, walled close beside Telford Park Tennis Club, this smart three-bedroom house blends calm, flexible living with standout practicality and 1.5 bathrooms (a guest WC at ground level plus a family bathroom). Designed in the 1970s with storage front of mind, the layout makes excellent use of every inch: deep closets off the landings, full-height cupboards in the kitchen, discreet understairs space and extensive eaves cupboards on the top floor—there’s a place for everything.

A hallway with the guest WC leads into the bright kitchen/living area at the front—ideal for everyday life and easy entertaining. Beyond, a generous dining/reception spans the width of the house and opens to a landscaped, low-maintenance rear garden with raised planters and seating, perfect for effortless alfresco suppers. Within the close there is off-street parking for two cars, adding day-to-day convenience.

Upstairs, two comfortable doubles share the family bathroom on the first floor. The top level is devoted to a peaceful third bedroom with superb eaves storage and a private balcony. From here you enjoy open views across surrounding period streets and treetops—an uplifting spot for morning coffee.

For commuters, the connections are superb: you’re in Zone 3 and just 2 minutes from Streatham Hill station (c. 8 mins to Clapham Junction, 18 mins to Victoria, 23 mins to London Bridge). It’s a short walk to Balham for the Northern line, and a quick bus ride to Brixton for the Victoria line—plus frequent local buses on your doorstep.
