Summary - 41 LAXLEY CLOSE, LONDON SE5 0YP
3 bed 1 bath Flat
Three double bedrooms across two split floors, feels like a small house
This split-level three-double-bedroom maisonette feels like a small house while occupying two floors of a low-rise ex-local development. The living space is well presented with a contemporary kitchen, large reception and direct access to a private balcony — ideal for morning coffee or light outdoor storage.
The property is offered chain-free with a healthy lease (about 103 years remaining) and around 854 sq ft of accommodation, making it attractive for first-time buyers wanting extra space or investors seeking a buy-to-let in a well-connected part of Kennington. Double glazing and a community heating scheme reduce running maintenance and improve comfort.
Buyers should note the above-average annual service charge (approx. £4,248) and that the building was constructed in the 1950s–60s as an ex-local authority block. The wider area scores as deprived with crime levels above average; prospective purchasers should factor local safety and amenity considerations into their decision. Council tax is low and ground rent is nominal.
Nearby transport (Kennington and Oval tube within walking distance) and a broad range of local shops, schools and eateries add everyday convenience. Overall this is a roomy, well-kept flat that delivers practical space, outdoor access and straightforward occupation or rental potential, provided buyers accept the higher service charge and urban location.
