This Grade II listed Georgian end-of-terrace house offers five double bedrooms across four main floors plus a self-contained basement flat — ideal for a family needing space or buyers seeking rental income. High ceilings, ornate fireplaces and original moldings retain strong period character while providing bright, airy living areas. The large open-plan reception and separate study open onto a small but well-kept garden, suitable for children or a home office with outdoor access.
Set on Kennington Road close to Kennington Underground Station, the house sits within an inner-city cosmopolitan neighbourhood with excellent transport links, fast broadband and a wide range of local amenities. Several well-regarded primary and secondary schools are within easy reach, making this a practical choice for families. The property is freehold and offers 2,540 sq ft of accommodation — generous proportions in central London.
Buyers should be aware this is a listed building, which will limit alterations and may complicate extensions or modernisation; listed-status consent will be required for many changes. The solid-brick construction likely lacks modern cavity insulation, and the house may benefit from targeted energy-efficiency improvements. The separate basement flat has its own shower room and vaulted storage but is arranged on a lower level and may need updating to maximise rental value.
Overall, this is a handsome period home with strong location advantages and flexible living arrangements. It suits families wanting generous rooms and character, or buyers looking for a primary residence with an income-generating basement flat — provided they are comfortable managing listed-building responsibilities and potential upgrade works.
