Lyveden Road, London, SW17
Property
This beautifully presented top floor two bedroom flat is situated within a well-maintained, purpose-built block in a popular pocket of SW17. The property has been completely renovated throughout, with a brand new kitchen, brand new bathroom and new flooring fitted to a high standard, giving the flat a genuinely turn-key, move-in ready feel. Being on the top floor, the flat benefits from excellent natural light and a real sense of privacy, with no one living above. A further practical bonus is access to the loft space for storage, offering valuable extra room to keep belongings out of the way without compromising the flat's clean, uncluttered layout. This is a fantastic opportunity for a first-time buyer or investor looking for a genuinely ready-to-go home in a well-connected part of South West London.
Transport
The property is superbly located for transport links. Tooting Broadway station (Northern line) is around a 10-minute walk and provides fast, frequent services into central London, running every 2-3 minutes at peak times, reaching Bank in approximately 24 minutes. Colliers Wood station, also on the Northern line, is a similar distance away and offers the same reliable service into the City and West End. For an alternative route, Tooting mainline station (Thameslink) is just a few minutes' walk and runs direct trains to Central London stations including Farringdon, City Thameslink and St Pancras International in around 30 minutes, ideal for those working in the City or needing onward Eurostar connections. With three stations within easy reach, residents have excellent flexibility for their commute.
Schools
Families are extremely well catered for in this part of SW17. For primary education, Singlegate Primary School (rated Outstanding by Ofsted) is a standout local choice, alongside Sellincourt Primary School and Links Primary School, both rated Good. At secondary level, Graveney School is a highly regarded Outstanding-rated comprehensive and one of the most sought-after schools in the borough. Also within easy reach are Al Risalah Boys' School and Al Risalah Secondary School, both rated Good. For those seeking independent education, Al Risalah's schools operate as private institutions locally, offering a further option for local families.
Local Amenities
The surrounding area offers a fantastic lifestyle for buyers, with Tooting renowned for its vibrant food and social scene. Tooting Market and Broadway Market are just a short distance away, home to an eclectic mix of independent restaurants, street food stalls and bars, reflecting the area's diverse and lively character. Everyday needs are well covered too, with a Lidl, Sainsbury's Local and a range of independent food stores all within a short walk, along with cafes, pharmacies and GP surgeries. For green space, Tooting Common and the famous Tooting Bec Lido are close by, offering one of the largest outdoor swimming pools in Europe, while the River Wandle and Wandle Trail near Colliers Wood provide a lovely riverside walking and cycling route. Also worth a mention is Merton Abbey Mills, London's only riverside village, a picturesque heritage site on the River Wandle with a working watermill, independent food producers, boutique shops, a Sunday craft market and the Colour House Theatre — a lovely spot for a weekend outing. Altogether, this is a well-connected, well-served pocket of SW17 with a real sense of community.
