Set on a quiet cul-de-sac in sought-after Old Kennington, this extended 1930s detached house offers roomy, flexible accommodation for a growing family. The layout includes four reception rooms, a conservatory, utility and a ground-floor bedroom/reception, providing space for formal living, play and home working. Two en suites plus a family bathroom and separate shower room reduce morning pressure and improve practicality for larger households.
Outside, a large secluded rear garden and an in-and-out carriage driveway with detached garage deliver excellent parking and entertaining space. The property is freehold and chain-free, with good commuter links — Ashford mainline station is about two miles away (around 38 minutes to London) — and a strong selection of nearby primary and secondary schools, including Highworth Grammar (Outstanding).
The house retains period character: bay windows, hardwood floors and generous room proportions. However, much of the interior is traditional in style and there is clear scope for updating to modern tastes. Buyers should expect typical mid-century maintenance and refurbishment work to fully realise the home’s potential. Council Tax is Band E (above average).
