The Lycee, Kennington SE11

The Lycee, is an imposing Victorian school building transformed into a gated, well-kept development at the heart of Kennington. Behind its handsome brick façade you’ll find characterful homes with generous volumes and striking architectural detail, all set within peaceful communal grounds that feel a world away from the bustle of central London.

This fabulous two-bedroom duplex apartment enjoys superb natural light via three dramatic double-height windows, amplifying the already impressive ceiling heights. Original features-exposed steel beams, detailed brickwork and lofty proportions-create an authentic warehouse-style atmosphere from the moment you step inside.

The living space is complemented by a bespoke fitted kitchen and a high-specification bathroom, pairing period character with modern comfort. Offered furnished on a long-term basis from late June, the property also comes with an allocated parking space within the gated development-rare and highly convenient for this location.

Transport links are excellent: Kennington Underground (Northern line, Bank & Charing Cross branches, with easy connections into the West End, the City and beyond) is a short walk away. Nearby bus routes place Waterloo, Westminster, Elephant & Castle and Battersea within easy reach, and cycling into central London is straightforward via well-established routes.

Kennington is loved for its village feel and green spaces. Kennington Park is moments away for weekend runs, tennis and picnics. You’re spoilt for local favourites too, with a strong mix of cafés, pubs, bars and independent shops, plus larger amenities at Oval and Elephant & Castle. Cultural hotspots on the South Bank and in Westminster are close by, making this a superb base for workdays and weekends alike.
