Set directly opposite Kennington Park and just seconds from Oval Underground, this fourth-floor one-bedroom flat offers a clear urban proposition for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. The reception room is spacious for the apartment size and the separate kitchen and WC maintain a traditional layout. The property is sold chain free, which simplifies a quick purchase.
The building dates from the 1930s and the flat shows signs of wear: the kitchen is compact and dated, and the living room has visible wear to finishes. Double glazing was installed before 2002 and the external walls are solid brick with no assumed cavity insulation, so buyers should budget for potential energy-efficiency upgrades. Heating is via a mains gas boiler and radiators.
Practical factors to note: the lease has about 89 years remaining, the service charge averages £2,040 per year and ground rent is nominal. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent; flood risk is very low. The local area is inner-city cosmopolitan with strong transport and amenity access, but recorded crime levels and area deprivation are higher than average.
This flat suits someone seeking a well-located, chain-free flat to occupy or refurbish. With straightforward cosmetic and efficiency upgrades it would make a comfortable home or a lettable asset close to central transport links and green space.
