A substantial Grade II-listed detached family house marrying period character with recent high-quality refurbishment. The 1860-built property has been extensively renovated throughout with a new bespoke kitchen, oak herringbone flooring, underfloor heating in the ground floor kitchen/diner and upgraded security (alarm and CCTV). The large, well-landscaped gardens, sweeping resin driveway and garage create excellent kerb appeal and practical family space.
Internally the layout suits family life and home-working: spacious kitchen/dining across the rear, separate living areas with exposed beams, a ground-floor shower room, utility and a dedicated home office. Four double bedrooms include an en-suite to the principal bedroom; three bathrooms in total provide flexibility for a busy household. Broadband speeds are fast and Ashford International offers a c.37–38 minute high-speed link to London, appealing to commuting families.
Important practical points are stated plainly: the house is Grade II listed, which can restrict alterations and make consents necessary for changes (including any garage conversion). The property retains timber-frame walls that were built without insulation (assumed), so any future improvement works should consider thermal upgrades alongside listed-building constraints. Council tax is above average.
Overall this is a turn-key, character-rich family home in a very affluent Kennington location with large gardens and commuter links — well suited to buyers seeking period charm combined with contemporary finishes, but buyers should factor in the responsibilities and limitations of listed status and likely retrofit work for insulation improvements.
