Bright, compact and characterful, this one-bedroom second-floor flat on Kennington Park Road suits a first-time buyer or city-based couple seeking period charm with modern convenience. Set within a Grade II listed Georgian terrace, the flat benefits from high ceilings, a curved bow window and sash windows that flood the space with natural light. The open-plan reception and kitchen make smart use of the 447 sq ft footprint for comfortable urban living.
Practical features include a long effective lease (circa 969 years), share of freehold, secondary glazing, mains gas heating to radiators and ultrafast broadband — all positives for longevity and day-to-day living. Service charge is modest at £564 (building insurance only) and there is no ground rent. Kennington Tube is a short walk away, with frequent buses and local amenities nearby.
Buyers should note the property is Grade II listed, which will restrict alterations and could add cost or delay to refurbishments. The area records above-average crime and local deprivation indicators; on-street parking only. The flat’s size is modest (447 sq ft), so it’s best suited to a single occupant or couple rather than a family wanting large rooms or private outdoor space.
Overall this is a well-presented period flat offering a mix of character and modern convenience in a highly connected central location. It will appeal to first-time buyers or investors looking for a tenant-ready, easy-to-manage central London property — provided they accept listed-building constraints and the urban environment.
