Summary - Flat 161, Imperial Court, 225 Kennington Lane SE11 5QN
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Bright ground-floor apartment with concierge and gym near Kennington transport.
Almost 800 sq ft — unusually large for a one-bedroom flat
A bright, generously proportioned one-bedroom apartment occupying the ground floor of a Georgian Revival conversion. At almost 800 sq ft the flat feels more like a small house, thanks to high ceilings, large windows and well-proportioned rooms. The accommodation includes a large reception room, modern fitted kitchen, double bedroom with ensuite, separate WC and useful built-in storage.
Located in a gated development with concierge, on-site gym and communal gardens, this home suits someone seeking central Kennington living with added building facilities. Transport links (Kennington, Oval, Vauxhall and multiple bus routes) put central London and mainline connections within easy reach. The property benefits from a very long lease (981 years) and has been newly renovated to a high standard, so immediate cosmetic work is not required.
Running costs are mixed: service charge is notable at £5,460 per year and Council Tax sits in Band E, both above average for a one-bedroom. The EPC is D. Ground rent is low (£224 pa). The surrounding area is inner-city and busy with a wide range of amenities, cafes and shops; neighbourhood deprivation indicators are higher here than in some central areas, which buyers should factor into long-term plans.
This apartment will appeal to a first-time buyer who values space, period character and convenient transport, or to investors seeking centrally located rental stock with strong tenant demand. The long lease and recent renovation reduce immediate capital expenditure, but factor in the higher service charge and council tax when assessing monthly costs.
