This substantial five-bedroom detached house in Kennington is arranged for flexible family living across multiple reception rooms. The modern kitchen/diner with snug and bi-fold doors creates a strong indoor-outdoor connection to a very large private rear garden — ideal for children, pets and entertaining. Practical additions include two en-suites, a family bathroom, cloakroom, study and a laundry room with a convenient laundry chute.
The plot is a standout feature: gated driveway parking for four plus vehicles, a generous lawned garden, stream and wooded edge, plus a partially covered raised patio. An unfinished garden room offers scope to add a bespoke home office, playroom or summerhouse tailored to your needs. The property sits close to local shops, recreation facilities and well-regarded schools, including Highworth Grammar.
Buyers should note a few material considerations. The house was built in the 1930–49 era and appears to have timber-frame walls with no insulation (assumed), and the double glazing dates from before 2002. The EPC is C and council tax is described as expensive — both factors to consider if you plan further energy upgrades or want to reduce running costs. The interior will reward some updating and targeted renovation to maximise long-term comfort and value.
Overall, this home will suit families seeking space, outdoor amenity and proximity to good schools, who are comfortable investing in modest modernisation to improve energy performance and personalise the layout.
