2 bed flat for sale

Kennington Park Road, Kennington SE11

Glorious two bed, two bath conversion apartment which takes the lower ground floor of a wide and well-placed Georgian mansion, with its own private garden with direct access. This faces east with a twist of south. You get lots of sun.

You are a within a mere couple of minutes of both Kennington Park and Kennington Underground Station (Zone 1, Northern Line). You are in bus-heaven here, too.

You have your own front door. In here and from your entrance lobby there is a little handy store to your right. Turn left and you land in the delightful open-plan kitchen/reception. This is over 18 feet by over 15 feet, with space for dining and casual seating alongside the smart fitted kitchen with island (very entertaining-friendly). Oak flooring, sash windows, recessed lighting and white walls further feature.

On through and next is built-in storage from the hall space (two big cupboards) and a modern internal shower room, with cool ‘pocket’ door. Then the principal bedroom (of over 13 feet by over 11 feet) is next door, with pleasing garden vistas. This room has a beautiful curved external wall, and one of your access points to your garden is here.

Up a couple of steps in the hallway and you’ll find your second bedroom. This is a long one of over 13 feet, with the sleeping area set to a mezzanine - a clever use of the space. Built-in shelves provide more storage at ground level. You can access the garden from this room also, from a lovely timber-framed part-glazed door. Beyond this second bedroom at the back of the apartment is an en suite double-aspect bathroom with a wet-room style shower as well.

Your part-walled garden is a total joy, with paved and faux-lawned areas, and a dedicated (party-friendly!) outdoor kitchen unit with sink and BBQ, plus storage.

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.
