Palfrey Place, Kennington

£375,000

Sale Agreed

Slick and supersized second floor studio flat of 386 square feet. Architect-designed and owned just once from new, the property’s in excellent move-in condition.

It also boasts a private west-facing balcony plus communal rear garden, and enjoys a brilliant tucked-away yet well-connected position: walk just six minutes to both Oval tube and Kennington Park. Chain free.

A secure main door gets you into the building at ground floor level (you also access the generous shared garden from a back door on the ground floor). Communal areas are spacious and neat.

Take the stairs for your own front door. You open into a handy lobby; which cleverly assists with the division of living and sleeping areas. Then open into the main space - which is double-aspect, with east and west facing glazing - you’ve got great light all day. White walls and engineered oak floors impress.

A huge storage cupboard rests between the windowed bathroom (contemporary-style white sanitary ware features here, plus large profile tiling, and an over bath shower and heated towel rad) and the fitted kitchen - which hosts a generous bank of gloss-white wall and base units. Appliances are integrated and included in the sale. There’s plenty of space for your table and chairs.

Slide open pleasingly-large glazed doors (next to the kitchen units) to the decked balcony - which gets fab afternoon through to evening sun.

The bedroom area has some fitted shelving and feels separate from the rest of the flat, with its own window.

What a spot! Walk to Oval tube in six minutes (Vauxhall and Stockwell stations are also close - yours within 15 minutes by foot), or pick up one of many buses headed into town.

Kennington Park is seriously local as we’ve mentioned. Vauxhall Park is close as well, and you're just a 15 minute stroll from the river.

Even more locally, we like The Fentiman Arms (walk three minutes) and the Saturday Farmers’ Market at the Georgian church grounds of St Marks (which has been used as a film location lots!), and Collective cafe in Kennington Park.
