Originally Georgian and later reimagined by the acclaimed architectural practice Almanac, the project received national recognition in the 2018 Architects’ Journal Small Projects Awards. Rather than competing with the original period fabric, Almanac’s approach was to work “in between”, inserting light, volume and spatial flexibility while preserving the rhythm and proportions of the terrace. The result is a house that feels grounded in its context yet distinctly contemporary.<br/><br/>Arranged over four floors, the accommodation comprises three double bedrooms, two generous reception spaces and three bathrooms, with engineered oak flooring and bespoke joinery throughout. The lower ground floor forms a versatile entertaining level with ample space for dining and informal seating, enhanced by a discreet side extension incorporating a pantry and lobby. <br/><br/>A few steps up, the kitchen is positioned within a bright rear extension defined by a substantial rooflight and full-height glazing opening directly onto the garden. Granite worktops and bespoke timber cabinetry are paired with a stainless-steel Bertazzoni range oven and gas hob, integrated dishwasher, fridge-freezer, a unique Fisher & Paykel drawer fridge, and washing machine and dryer, alongside a walk-in pantry providing further storage.<br/><br/>The raised ground floor is organised as an elegant double reception room framed by tall sash windows. A carefully considered extension introduces additional natural light and houses a guest shower room. This level benefits from its own separate entrance, with a clever sliding wall, allowing it to function independently as guest accommodation, a studio or consulting space when required. <br/><br/>The first floor includes two well-proportioned double bedrooms with fitted alcove storage and shuttered sash windows overlooking the front and rear gardens, served by a stylish well-appointed bathroom.<br/><br/>Ascending to the top floor, you’ll find the master suite, a peaceful retreat with space for a large double bed, and ample storage. A landing area between the bedroom and en-suite offers a quiet spot to relax beneath a skylight. The en-suite bathroom is impeccably finished, featuring dual basins and a walk-in shower.<br/><br/>Both front and rear gardens provide rare outdoor space in this central setting. The paved rear garden provides a private sanctuary, with high walls hugged by crawling Virginia creepers, fragrant Jasmine, and Magnolia.<br/><br/>Finally, the front garden offers off-street parking behind a canopy of olive and fig trees, with scope for EV charging to be added.<br/><br/>Freehold<br/><br/>PARKING<br/>Off street parking and parking permit available from the Southwark council<br/><br/>UTILITIES<br/>Electricity – mains connected<br/>Gas – mains connected<br/>Water – mains connected <br/>Heating – gas central heating<br/>Sewerage – mains connected<br/>Broadband – Ultrafast Full Fibre Broadband<br/><br/>Location:<br/>The property is located on Lambeth Road to the west of Kennington Road and a 10 minute walk to the Thames, offering easy access to the City, London Bridge, Westminster and beyond.
