An outstanding double-fronted Georgian house in peaceful Hanover Gardens, newly renovated and presented in excellent condition. The Grade II listing preserves original period features — high ceilings, sash windows and generous room proportions — while the updated interiors provide contemporary comfort across 1,950 sq ft. The property is chain free and includes a separate self-contained basement flat, offering immediate rental income or flexible space for a live-in carer or home office.
This five-bedroom home suits a growing family who value space, character and easy access to green space. Kennington Park and the Oval Cricket Ground are moments away and Oval Underground station (Northern line) is within easy walking distance for commuting. There are several well-regarded primary and secondary schools nearby, including an Outstanding primary and secondary option, making the location family-friendly despite its inner-city setting.
Buyers should note the material constraints: Grade II listing means repairs and alterations will need listed-building consent and may limit changes. Council Tax is Band G and described as quite expensive. The plot is small with a modest garden and the wider area records higher crime and relative deprivation indicators, which some buyers may find off-putting. Solid brick construction likely lacks modern cavity insulation, so further energy upgrades could be limited or require specialist listed-property solutions.
Overall this is a rare, characterful townhouse that combines generous accommodation, recent renovation and flexible income potential via the basement flat. It will suit a family wanting a period home near central London green spaces, or an owner-occupier investor prepared to manage listed-building responsibilities.
