Thornton Avenue, London, SW2

Set within the Telford Park Conservation Area on one of the neighbourhood’s most desirable tree-lined roads is this charming one-bedroom garden flat, offering an ideal blend of character, privacy and location.

The home opens into a central hallway with access to a well-proportioned reception room to the front. A deep bay window overlooks greenery and floods the space with natural light, complemented by high ceilings and warm tones that give the room a welcoming atmosphere. To the rear, the double bedroom is quietly positioned with a peaceful garden outlook.

The kitchen has been fully refurbished and offers a stylish, practical workspace with new cabinetry, tiling, worktops, floorboards, lighting, oven, hob, plumbing and electrics all replaced to modern standards. From here, a door leads directly to the flat’s standout feature — a beautifully planted, southwest-facing private garden. Well screened and secluded, it offers a rare outdoor escape perfect for al fresco dining or simply unwinding among mature planting.

Completing the flat is a bathroom with neutral tiling and a full-sized bath with overhead shower. The layout offers a nice balance between open entertaining space and quiet retreat.

Thornton Avenue sits between Streatham Hill and Balham, with excellent access to Clapham, Brixton and the open green expanses of Tooting Bec Common just moments away. Abbeville Village, with its boutiques and brunch spots, is nearby, and a local tennis club is just around the corner. Transport links include overground services at Streatham Hill and Balham stations, as well as nearby bus routes.
