Set within the modern Oakley House development, this 738 sq ft two-bedroom third-floor flat offers a bright, practical layout and a private balcony overlooking landscaped communal gardens. Built in 2009, the apartment benefits from double glazing, lift access and a large walk-in wardrobe for generous storage. The open-plan living/kitchen is well-proportioned and ready for everyday living.
This property is offered as shared ownership (30% minimum), making it a realistic entry route for first-time buyers or buyers seeking lower upfront capital. The long lease (108 years remaining) and very low flood risk add security, while excellent local transport — Kennington (Northern Line) and multiple bus routes — connects you across London. Nearby amenities include Kennington Park, The Oval and the Imperial War Museum.
Be clear about the trade-offs: tenure is leasehold and communal heating is via a mains gas community scheme, which can affect service charges and running costs. Council tax is above average for the area. The wider neighbourhood scores highly for professional residents but is classified as relatively deprived overall — local services and streets are mixed in quality.
Overall this apartment suits buyers prioritising location and space for a city home with manageable entry cost. It’s ideal for buyers who want a move-in ready flat with good storage and outdoor space, while being comfortable with shared ownership and community-managed heating arrangements.
