2 bed flat for sale

Kennington Park Road, Kennington SE11

Glorious two double bedroom conversion apartment on the second floor of a wide and well-placed Georgian mansion, with shared secure bike storage

You are just a one minute walk from both Kennington Park and Kennington Underground Station (Zone 1, Northern Line). You are in bus-heaven here, too.

A white-walled and welcoming communal hall at raised ground floor sets a smart and spacious scene. Take the stairs to the second floor for your own front door.

On entry, on your left is a door to your really big and bright reception room of over 23 feet by over 16 feet (with an open-plan modern fitted kitchen - with glossy fitted units and glass splashbacks - set off the main space).

The large main room enjoys high skirting boards, engineered oak floors, and a beautiful curved wall hosting two sash windows. A further bonus study/hobby space (with another sash) features off the reception space, with verdant views. Built-in cupboards here plus fixed shelving allays the common storage in a flat concern.

Your two similarly-sized double bedrooms rest to the front of the property. These are over 14 feet by over 9 feet, and over 14 feet by over 10 feet. Both bedrooms have white walls and engineered oak floors. Secondary glazing is fitted to all three front windows.

Finally you have the modern internal bathroom with smart white suite, large profile wall tiles, and a heated towel rail.

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 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 Forza Win, The Camberwell Arms, Veraison Wines and Little Cellars. Peckham is also close.
