Looking out over the attractive green space of Kennington Park, this two-bedroom townhouse is an island of calm among the constant rush of London. Step inside, and you'll find autumnal tones dominate the open-plan living room and office space, with a teeming bookcase, retro turntable and extensive vinyl collection providing plenty of entertainment to enjoy in your downtime. Floor-to-ceiling windows ensure there's plenty of natural light to read by, while the desk sits right by a door leading onto one of the three balconies. A modern kitchen provides the culinary inspiration, with an espresso machine that would be the envy of any of the cool local cafes. So steam some milk and stride through the bifold doors and into the back garden with your flat white in hand. Out here, a beautiful deck, comfy seating and an alfresco dining area ensure you can make the most of the sun when it does decide to make an appearance. Upstairs, a spacious en-suite main bedroom offers a soothing space to unwind at the end of a busy day, while those sleeping in the second bedroom will be overlooked by the twin superheroes of Batman and Audrey Hepburn. From here, not only are you well...
