... However, what’s not in any doubt is how central Kennington is. It’s on the newly extended Northern line, and the station is now in Zone 1. Four more are in walking distance, as are the delights of the South Bank. Buyers have the choice of modern, new-build and ex-local authority flats, Victorian terraced houses and conversions, and Georgian townhouses.
‘We tend to attract a lot of people who work in the City as it is such a fast commute,’ says Tom Floyd of Winkworth’s Kennington office. ...‘First-time buyer demand is very strong and the Bank of Mum and Dad continues to offer support in many cases. Prices start from around £400,000 for an older purpose-built flat or a smaller period conversion.
‘Cleaver Square, a lovely Georgian garden square, is a big pull. For those looking for larger homes, there are some beautiful listed houses on Kennington Road.’
