1 bed flat for sale

Kennington Park Road, Kennington SE11

An impressive, well-presented and high-ceilinged raised ground floor, one double bedroom, Georgian conversion apartment, within moments of Kennington Underground Station (Zone 1, Northern Line) and only a two minute walk from Kennington Park.

You are also in bus and cycle heaven here, with multiple routes providing access to the The West End and The City.

A smart shared hall is a pleasing welcome to the beautiful building. Your own front door is to the left and leads you to a neat and colour-drenched hall area/lobby. To your right is the grand (and notably quiet) carpeted bedroom, with a southeasterly orientation and a beautiful curved wall to the rear of the property.

Ahead from the front door and you have your internal bathroom, with a modern white suite and period coving detail which celebrates those wonderful lofty ceilings.

Finally, to the front of your building is the large open-plan reception/kitchen, of over 15 feet by over 13 feet. The period cornicing, ceiling rose and picture rail detail bring smiles all-round. Twin sash windows deliver leafy street vistas.

What a spot! You are very well-connected for all commutes, and your immediate area has a great sense of community and identity. Kennington's high street serves up cafes, coffee shops and even pottery classes (at Umber Works).

Your most local green space is Kennington Park (originally called ‘Kennington Common’): A Victorian-era public park, with winding paths, mature trees, and an Old English flower garden featuring at its centre. The popular park has earned many an award ('Green Flag', 'Green Heritage', 'Park of the Year' and 'Walled Garden of the Year' from London in Bloom).

There is also a cute cafe and various sporting facilities (including pitches for football and netball, and tennis courts). The Kennington Park Extension was added to the main park in 1951 where cricket and other grass sports can be played.

There are lots of top places to eat, drink and be social nearby. Options include The Kennington, The Prince of Wales (overlooking leafy and Georgian-beautiful Cleaver Square), The Derby, White Bear (pub and theatre), The Fentiman Arms, and 24 The Oval.

A short southerly bus trip or cycle to Camberwell gives you more options - like The Kerfield, The Camberwell Arms, Veraison Wines and Little Cellars. Peckham is also close.
