Summary - West Square, Kennington, SE11 SE11 4SP
4 bed 2 bath Town House
Historic square address with private communal green and gated parking, moments from central transport.
Four double bedrooms across four floors, 1,680 sq ft
Set in one of London’s earliest and most atmospheric squares, this substantial four-bedroom freehold townhouse offers 1,680 sq ft of period living over four floors. High ceilings, original sash windows and a curved reception wall provide authentic Georgian character, while two reception rooms and a full-width lower-ground reception/dining area give flexible family living and entertaining space. The property is offered chain free and includes residents’ communal gardens and gated parking — a rare combination in central locations.
Accommodation is arranged around a feature open spiral staircase linking lower ground, ground, first and second floors. The layout includes a well-equipped kitchen, two bathrooms plus a guest WC, useful built-in storage and gas central heating. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal mean the house is well served for home working and modern life. Transport links are excellent — Elephant & Castle and Waterloo are within easy reach for frequent rail and Underground services.
Buyers should note practical drawbacks: the property sits in an area with very high crime levels and some local deprivation, and council tax is described as quite expensive. The house occupies a small plot and the internal spiral staircase and multi-floor layout may be impractical for limited mobility. Some rooms show dated decor and would benefit from updating to fully unlock the home’s potential.
This house will suit buyers seeking a historic, characterful family home or long-term central London investment with immediate access to cultural amenities and outstanding transport. Viewings are recommended for those who prioritise location, character and private square gardens over a modern, single-level layout.
