1-bedroom Flat for rent at Christchurch Road, London, SW2

This bright and spacious one-bedroom flat, refurbished to a very high standard, is available to let from early August. Seeking a long-term tenancy, let directly by a private landlord - no estate agents involved.

Set on the first floor of a large Victorian house with very high ceilings, large windows, and views overlooking the leafy garden. The flat feels bright, airy, and secluded from the road. It has a modern kitchen with oak surfaces and good quality appliances, a large modern shower room, a good-sized double bedroom, useful hallway storage, and an open-plan kitchen/living room with a 6-seater dining table. New radiators and a well-maintained boiler throughout.

Outside, there is a communal garden with tables and benches (from which the WiFi works very well), an allocated gated parking space, and additional parking for visitors. A secure private bike shed for the flat with space for two bikes.

The main building has recently had a full renovation, with the sash windows restored and communal areas painted throughout. There is a cleaner for the communal areas and a monthly gardener. Friendly neighbours and a real community feel.

Transport is excellent: Tulse Hill Station is 5 minutes' walk, Streatham Hill Station 10 minutes' walk, and Brixton tube a short bus ride away. You can be in Victoria or London Bridge within 27 minutes, and Farringdon within 30. The building is on the south circular, making it easy to get in and out of London by car.

The flat is furnished to a high standard and the let includes most furniture, textiles and basic kitchen equipment (pans, microwave, toaster, kettle etc.). Large TV also included.

We spent many years in this apartment and loved living there.
