Rosedene Avenue, Streatham, London, SW16

On a much-loved residential road, this bright and airy family house unfolds with well-balanced rooms, excellent storage, side access and off-street parking. A wide hallway introduces a generous bay-fronted reception room with working fireplace and chimney, perfect for quieter evenings. To the rear, a large open-plan kitchen and dining room forms the everyday hub, with plenty of worktop space and room for a long table opening onto the garden; a second sitting area here makes it a superb space for family life and entertaining.

A practical utility room sits off the kitchen and keeps laundry noise out of the living areas; it also includes a shower and WC, giving the house two bathrooms in use.

Upstairs, the first floor provides four comfortable bedrooms arranged around a central landing, all served by a notably spacious family bathroom. A loft above offers further storage.

The rear garden is a real highlight for London: a broad patio for outdoor dining steps down to an expansive lawn bordered by mature planting — ideal for play, summer gatherings and relaxed weekends. The street is known for its lovely, community-minded neighbours, adding to the sense of a happy home.
