Streatham offers all you might need in terms of restaurants, pubs etc and is less than half an hour from the centre of town by train. Richard's place was ideal for our needs. Accommodation consists of one large room plus shower room in a separate building at the rear of his property. We liked the independence this gave us, while our host and hostess were handy if we needed them. The shower room is admittedly compact but, more importantly, the kitchen TV and sleeping area is relatively spacious.
I really couldn't fault it and would use it again without hesitation.
