5 Bedroom Detached House

Set within the ever-popular ABC roads on the edge of the Leigham Court Conservation Area, this gorgeous family home blends retained period character with a thoughtful extension programme that has created generous, practical living across three floors.

You enter into a welcoming hallway with a handy ground floor WC, before the house opens into two distinct reception spaces. To the front, the main reception room offers a calm, comfortable setting with beautiful proportions and original detailing, including a feature fireplace. To the rear, the home has been opened and extended to form a superb kitchen and family living space that becomes the natural heart of the house, with plenty of room to cook, dine and gather. This space flows directly out to the garden, making it ideal for everyday family life as well as entertaining.

Upstairs, the first floor provides three bedrooms and a family bathroom, offering excellent flexibility for growing families, guests, or working from home. The top floor was created as part of the loft extension and forms a fantastic principal suite, complete with an en-suite bathroom and useful eaves storage.

Outside, the mature south-facing garden is a real highlight. Remodelled in 2020 with new fencing on all sides, it is designed for low-fuss enjoyment and gets the sun beautifully throughout the day. The street itself is known for its friendly community feel, with a great mix of young families and long-established residents.

Cricklade Avenue sits perfectly for the best of Streatham Hill and Brixton. Streatham Hill station is close by for direct services into London Victoria and London Bridge, while excellent bus links connect you quickly into Brixton for the Victoria Line. Daily life is easy thanks to the thriving local high street with major supermarkets, independent grocers, delis, cafés and restaurants. Hillside Gardens Park is a short walk away at the end of the road, and Brockwell Park, Streatham Common and Tooting Common are all within easy reach. The area is also well regarded for schooling, with outstanding-rated primary options including Henry Cavendish, Hitherfield, Dunraven and Streatham Wells.
