THE LEGAL BIT
While we strive to create true-to-life photographs, floor plans and descriptions, our marketing material is only a guide. Purchasers should always visit in person, ask relevant questions and triple-check details. Brickworks takes our duty of care incredibly seriously and takes all reasonable steps to ensure all presented information is correct. However, we sometimes rely on the accuracy of the information provided to us by the seller and others. Also, please note that we often round up/down total floor plan measurements and/or use approximate distances.
BRICKWORKS SAYS
Set within a handsome Georgian terrace on one of Oval’s grand, tree-lined streets, this three-bedroom home offers a confident blend of period charm and contemporary style. The current owners have reimagined the space from the ground up—every wall, surface, and fixture reconsidered less than three years ago, so it feels both polished and lived-in.
Downstairs, a semi open-plan layout balances sociable living with easy flow. The eat-in kitchen opens into a relaxed living room where an immersive TV corner quietly invites a new weekly ritual. On warm days, the bi-fold doors disappear to unify inside and out, extending gatherings into the garden and creating a single, breezy entertaining space. Upstairs, two generous bedrooms come with custom wardrobes and shelving, while the third room flexes neatly as a study, nursery or creative nook.
Oval itself is a joy to live in: Kennington Park—just five minutes away—is your leafy retreat, with tennis courts and a café that serves excellent coffee and pizza. Battersea Power Station is a 10-minute cycle away, with a lovely Third Space gym, and The Oval Farmers’ Market is a Saturday staple. Combine this with superb transport connections and The Camberwell Arms (arguably the best pub food in London), and you have the city at its best, right on your doorstep.
THE OWNERS SAY
We’ve absolutely loved living here for the past three years and are gutted to be moving on. From the moment we renovated it, every detail was carefully considered to create a home that’s perfect for both everyday living and entertaining.
The flat is light and spacious. The high ceilings and large windows flood the rooms with natural light, while the layout and storage make it comfortable as well as stylish. The whole home has been completely renovated, and (whilst we're biased) we couldn't love it more.
We’ll miss lazy summer evenings in the garden, watching the sun go down through those big windows, and the gatherings that stretched well into the night. It's an incredibly special home, and we hope the next owners love living here as much as we have.

Recent work:
The current owners have completely gutted and remodelled the flat with full planning permission, undertaking extensive works including enlarging the rear patio doors with bi-folding doors, adding a ground floor WC, removing and reconfiguring internal walls to create a first-floor shower room and an open-plan living/dining area, and repositioning the staircase.
They also installed new rear external steps, replaced the front door, and redesigned the rear bin storage. The property now benefits from brand new bathrooms and kitchen fittings, new flooring, full rewiring and plumbing throughout, a complete replastering, and updated finishes such as lighting, handles, skirting boards, and carpets—essentially a top-to-bottom renovation of every aspect of the home.
Getting around:
A number of bus routes pass the end of Vassall Road, offering direct connections to London Victoria, London Waterloo, Marylebone, Vauxhall, Battersea Power Station, and Brixton. There is also a Lime bike and scooter station right opposite the flat, with a cycle highway leading into the city. Oval station (Northern line, Z2) is about a 10-minute walk away.

The current owners are relocating to the USA for work and are, reluctantly, selling their home. They are able to sell chain-free.
