This stylish three-bedroom end-of-terrace home delivers bright, contemporary open-plan living arranged over two floors, ideal for a family seeking city convenience and entertaining space. The ground floor is dominated by a generous kitchen-dining-living area with a central island, rooflights and full-height bi-fold doors that create excellent indoor–outdoor flow into a private paved garden courtyard.
The first-floor principal and second double bedrooms both include built-in storage, while a third bedroom makes a practical nursery or home office. The modern family bathroom benefits from underfloor heating and the property has double glazing and mains gas central heating, providing comfortable, low-effort living. Chain-free freehold ownership adds clarity to purchase.
Notable considerations are factual and important: records show the building date as 1967–1975 despite a “new build” note, and cavity walls are listed as originally uninsulated, so buyers should expect potential retrofit insulation works. The outdoor space is a small private courtyard rather than a large garden, and there is a single bathroom for three bedrooms.
Positioned between Oval and Vauxhall, the house offers excellent transport links to central London, fast broadband and strong local amenities, making it appealing both to families and investors who value location and rental demand. The area shows pockets of deprivation despite overall low crime and ongoing regeneration in nearby Vauxhall, which supports longer-term value growth.
