FULL DESCRIPTION
Freehold Development Land for Sale, Streatham Vale SW16. Guide Price £300,000.
THE OPPORTUNITY
A freehold parcel of land of approximately 2.3 acres (9,354 sq m) to the south of the former Homebase site, Woodgate Drive, Streatham Vale. It will be offered at our Claridge's auction on 28 October 2026 with a guide price of £300,000.
The neighbouring former Homebase site at 100 Woodgate Drive has planning permission for up to 237 homes. Barratt London bought it in January 2026, and it is now being developed. This makes the land a rare opportunity next to a major new housing scheme.
THE LOCATION
Streatham Vale is in the London Borough of Lambeth. The land is close to Streatham Common station, which has direct trains to London Victoria and London Bridge, and to the A23. The area has good local shops, schools and parks, including Streatham Common.
THE LAND
The land is a long strip running alongside the railway line, south from the former Homebase site towards Glenister Park Road, behind the houses on Woodgate Drive. It is partly wooded. The site area and description are based on information provided by the seller and the title. The auctioneers have not yet inspected the land.
DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL
There is no planning permission in place. The vendor is progressing an updated pre-application proposal, and details will be in the legal pack. Any development will need planning permission from Lambeth Council.
The land could interest:
developers looking for residential or mixed-use potential, subject to planning
neighbouring landowners, for access, landscaping, amenity space or biodiversity net gain
investors looking to hold land in a part of London seeing major new housing
Buyers should check access, the railway boundary, trees and ecology before bidding.
