Kennington Oval, Kennington, SE11

An opportunity to acquire a substantial five-bedroom Victorian house with two levels of living space, opposite The Kia Oval cricket ground and just a short walk to Vauxhall. The house represents an all-encompassing family home ideally situated between Oval, Vauxhall and Kennington. EPC Rating D.

This impressive house is accessed on the raised ground floor. As you enter, you are greeted by a spacious hallway with the double reception room on your right. This room is a fantastic size with high ceilings and wooden flooring. There is a large bay window at the front, with views of The Oval, two ornate fireplaces, and space for sofas and armchairs. This room can easily be split into two, by means of the two large double doors. The garden can also be accessed via French double doors at the back of the room, leading to a balcony with steps down to the garden. At the back of the property on the raised ground floor is a family bathroom, containing a walk-in shower, basin and a W.C.

The lower ground floor consists of a sizable kitchen/dining room and also benefits from a separate utility room and additional access to the garden. The kitchen itself has a warm traditional feel and has been finished to a very high standard. It comprises a large gas hob with oven below, an integrated microwave, dishwasher, fridge/freezer and a kitchen sink, as well as an abundance of storage and worktop space.

The dining area has plenty of space for a large dining table and chairs, but could also be used as an additional family room. There is also a separate storage space at the front of the room, under what would be the external stairs, leading to the front door above. The utility room is an extremely useful space with ample storage, an additional sink and a separate washing machine and tumble dryer.

The first floor consists of the large master bedroom, stretching the full width of the property and the second bedroom, which is also a fantastic size. On this floor there is also another family bathroom, similar to the bathroom downstairs, only this offers a bath instead of a walk-in shower.

The top floor has an additional three bedrooms, two of which are good sized doubles and the third would make an ideal study/nursery.

The garden is a charming green space and surprisingly big, given the location of the property. Entertaining outdoors, whether for friends or family, is perfectly suited to this garden.

Kennington Oval takes you down to Vauxhall’s hub with its fantastic transport links, artist quarter and abundance of new eateries. Bonnington Square is a short walk from the property, with a bohemian vibe and beautiful terraced housing. Vauxhall and Kennington Parks are also nearby, as well as a fantastic farmers market St Mark’s Church every Saturday. The River Thames is approximately 12 minutes’ walk away and St Georges Wharf Pier is approximately 14 minutes’ walk.
