This compact two-bedroom terraced house on Westcott Road offers a practical first home in Kennington, arranged over two floors with a bright reception room, open-plan kitchen and a private garden. The property includes a rare off-street parking space for the area and is offered freehold — convenient for buyers seeking long-term ownership and low running tenure complexity.
Location is a clear strength: Kennington Underground is within easy walking distance and local shops, cafés and schools are nearby, making daily life straightforward. The home is modest in footprint (around 599 sq ft) and feels contemporary inside, with wood flooring, patio doors and double glazing noted — a good canvas for someone moving up the ladder.
Buyers should be aware of practical downsides. The house dates from the 1950s–60s and the cavity walls appear to have no added insulation, which may mean immediate improvement works to boost energy efficiency and lower bills. The property has just one three-piece bathroom and a small plot, so space is limited if you need room to grow. Area-level indicators show higher deprivation and average crime figures, which some buyers will want to weigh against the location benefits.
Overall this home suits a first-time buyer or couple seeking a manageable, well-located London base with outdoor space and parking. It offers clear potential for targeted improvements (insulation, possible kitchen/bathroom upgrades) to add comfort and long-term value.
