Harborough Road, London, SW16

Set on a quiet, tree-lined street, this handsome Victorian first- and second-floor maisonette blends period character with a smart 2018 renovation. Your own front door opens to a bright hallway with rooflights, leading up to a generous bay-fronted living room with cast-iron fireplace and fitted shelving. The heart of the home is the extended kitchen/dining/living space: a calm, contemporary room with timber flooring, skylights drawing in the sun, and ample cabinetry for cooks and gatherers alike.
There are three bedrooms in total — two comfortable doubles and a smaller third ideal as a nursery or home office — served by a modern family bathroom with classic metro tiling. From the rear landing, external steps lead down to a private, low-maintenance garden with slate chippings and planting, easy to enjoy as is or re-lawn if preferred.

Harborough Road is a peaceful residential spot with a friendly, established community. You’re within walking distance of Streatham Hill, Streatham and Tulse Hill stations for quick links to Victoria, London Bridge and King’s Cross, and close to everyday amenities on the high street — including a much-loved French bakery and handy newsagent at the end of the road.
Families appreciate the proximity to well-regarded schools such as Hitherfield and Sunnyhill primaries, plus secondary options including Bishop Thomas Grant and Dunraven.

From the Owners:

“We renovated in 2018, keeping the lovely period features while creating a bright kitchen-diner that’s become the heart of our home. The road is quiet and friendly, with easy parking, and we love having a bakery and newsagent at the end of the street. We can walk to Streatham Hill, Streatham or Tulse Hill for fast trains, and there are brilliant local schools and a great nursery/forest-school option nearby. It’s been a wonderful place for family life and entertaining.”
