Some words from the owners:
What do you love most about your home/property?
The location, neighbourhood, size and layout. The location is perfect - a nice, quiet residential street with great shops, cafes and restaurants within a very short walk. There are several parks within easy walking distance. Access to both Oval and Vauxhall tube stations within a short walk enables travel across London quickly via both the Northern and Victoria lines, as well as South Western Rail from Vauxhall. While living there, my partner and I have usually walked to work- it is just 30 minutes from Westminster and about 45mins to an hour from Soho. There are also loads of buses. It is also an easy walk to nearby South London hubs like Kennington, Brixton, Camberwell and Clapham, as well as the new Battersea / Nine Elms development.

We have also loved the property itself. It is very quiet and has a peaceful, south-facing outdoors area. The space has a modern feel despite being in a Victorian Terrace. The living room / dining room space is great for entertaining, and it's nice to have a separate kitchen. The main bedroom is a great size and en-suite. The second bedroom makes a perfect study / spare bedroom with french doors onto the patio. Having two bathrooms is a great bonus when you have guests visiting / staying.

Why are you selling?
We have lived happily at our current property for 7 years. It was mine and my partner's first home together. We are now looking to move somewhere a little larger in the same area.

What do you love about the area?
As dog owners we love the proximity of several parks, but before that the main benefit of the area was the easy access to two tube lines (Victoria & Northern) as well as ability to walk to work in Westminster / London Bridge / Soho. There are lots of great cafes and restaurants in the area (Oval 24, Little Portugal, Liloos, Cable Cafe) as well as hair dressers, dentist, vet, pharmacy, and grocery shops (both supermarket chains and corner shops).

The community is friendly and held street parties during Covid and for the Queen's jubilee & King's coronation. It has always felt incredibly safe. There is a WhatsApp thread for the street where neighbours are always offering to help out by lending tools / giving away old furniture / take in parcels / etc.
