Compact, characterful home near Kennington Park and Northern Line stations.
Light-filled reception with high ceilings and sash bay window
This immaculate two-bedroom first-floor period conversion combines original Victorian charm with contemporary comforts. High ceilings, a bay-sash window and original mantelpiece make the light-filled reception feel generous, while the modern fitted kitchen and fully tiled bathroom provide everyday convenience.
At 574 sqft (53.3 sqm) the apartment is compact but well laid out, ideal for buyers seeking a low-maintenance city base close to green space. It sits directly opposite St Mark’s Church and is moments from Kennington Park and the Oval, with Oval and Kennington Northern Line stations within easy walking distance for fast links across London.
Practical advantages include a very long lease (share of freehold, circa 973 years), double glazing, mains gas heating with a boiler and radiators, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. EPC rating C is respectable for a period conversion, but the solid brick walls are likely uninsulated and present an opportunity for energy improvements.
Considerations: the flat is small and has a single bathroom, which may not suit larger families. The annual service charge is around £2,200. While the property is in immaculate condition, buyers seeking extra space or eco upgrades should factor in potential remodelling or insulation work. Overall this is a characterful, well-connected home for urban families or couples wanting close access to parks, schools and transport.
