House For Sale £800,000
Fine and Country have the distinct pleasure in presenting Kennington Lodge, an attached Grade II Listed residence representing a fine example of 18th century architecture, occupying an enviable position within beautifully manicured gardens of approximately 0.33 of an acre, in the desirable location of Old Kennington.
Dating back to approximately 1715, the home exhibits charming features of the period, with imposing open fireplaces, striking wood panelled walls, leaded light windows and ancient beams adorning the ceilings. Currently this unique property is configured over two floors, affording well appointed and versatile living accommodation, yet holds great potential for those seeking to create their own vision of the perfect home.
The ground floor provides bright and spacious entertaining areas, with convenient entrance lobbies to the front and rear of the home, a substantial triple aspect lounge, imposing dining room, a modern bespoke fitted kitchen and downstairs cloak/ shower room.
The first floor hosts four well proportioned bedrooms, currently served by a tastefully presented family bathroom. Three of the bedrooms benefit from wash hand basins and could, with some reconfiguration, lend themselves to the addition of en-suite facilities.
Gardens and Grounds
Kennington Lodge stands elegantly beyond imposing wooden gates and driveway dressed in fine shingle, within mature landscaped gardens of approximately 0.33 of an acre. Fine lawns feature, interspersed with a mature range of specimen trees and prolifically well stocked flower to add shape and bursts of colour.
Garaging and Parking
A large driveway affords sufficient parking for numerous vehicles, while a detached double garage provided an additional parking option, and (subject to securing relevant planning consent) be developed to add more living space.
