Summary - Flat 53, 216 Kennington Road SE11 6HR
2 bed 2 bath Flat
Chain-free 2-bed flat with balcony and excellent transport links — ideal for first-time buyers.
Chain-free second-floor two-bedroom flat with private balcony
This chain-free two-bedroom flat sits on the second floor of a modern Kennington development, offering 655 sq ft of well-proportioned living space and a private balcony. The apartment benefits from double glazing, an EPC rating of B and a contemporary fitted kitchen — good for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking a ready-to-move-in property in central London.
The location is a major selling point: excellent transport links, plentiful local amenities, pubs and restaurants on the doorstep and fast broadband/mobile signal. Nearby schools include several Ofsted-rated Outstanding primaries and secondaries, adding appeal for buyers planning a family or securing long-term tenants.
Practical considerations: the property is leasehold with an average service charge of £3,420 and annual ground rent of £300. Heating is provided by electric storage heaters and the flat is within the congestion charging zone — both factors that will affect running costs. The area is classified as deprived, which may influence resale or rental values in the short term despite the stronger local employment profile.
Overall this is a centrally located, low-risk flood property with modern fittings and immediate availability. It suits first-time buyers wanting central access without a chain, or investors targeting reliable rental demand; buyers should budget for service charges, ground rent and the higher operational costs associated with electric heating.
