Set on the second floor of Malmsey House, this three-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment offers a practical Zone 1 base for a first-time buyer or investor. At around 819 sq ft the accommodation feels generous for central London, with a bright reception room that opens onto a private balcony and a separate, modern-style kitchen with integrated appliances. The principal bedroom includes an en‑suite shower, plus two further bedrooms that can serve as a nursery, guest room or home office.
The flat is chain free and comes with a long lease of approximately 178 years, making the tenure secure. Service charges are modest at about £1,200 per annum, and the property benefits from a lift, double glazing and an EPC rating of C. Its central location is a major asset — Kennington and Vauxhall stations are close by, giving fast access across London, while nearby parks and local shops add everyday convenience.
Condition is neutral and largely move‑in ready, although there is scope to personalise and add value through updating finishes. The building dates from the 1930s–40s and walls are likely solid brick with no added cavity insulation (assumed), so buyers sensitive to thermal performance should factor potential improvement costs into plans. There is no private garden and parking is not included.
The area is an inner‑city, cosmopolitan neighbourhood with good broadband and mobile signal. Local services and good schools are nearby, but the broader ward registers higher deprivation indicators and average crime levels; purchasers should weigh these local factors alongside the strong transport links and long lease when deciding if this central apartment matches their priorities.
