Bright, well-laid-out two-bedroom flat on the second floor, minutes from Oval Underground Station. The reception room is spacious for the size, and two double bedrooms give flexibility for a small family, sharers or a home office. A separate modern integrated kitchen and a sleek bathroom reduce immediate maintenance needs.
The flat sits in a 1930s brick building with double glazing and mains gas central heating. Kennington Park and strong local transport links are on the doorstep, making commutes and weekend green space very easy. Several well-regarded primary and secondary schools are nearby, which will suit buyers thinking ahead.
Buyers should note material facts plainly: the property is leasehold with around 89 years remaining, an average service charge of £2,688 per year and a ground rent of £10. The overall internal area is small (about 612 sq ft) and the wider area records higher crime and area deprivation statistics. The building likely has solid brick walls with no added insulation, so buyers may want to budget for any energy-improvement work.
This property will appeal to first-time buyers wanting excellent transport links and a ready-to-live-in flat, or to investors looking for a lettable central London location. It offers immediate convenience and short-term usability, with clear points to consider for longer-term ownership costs and improvement potential.
