LandDescription
A detached two-storey house of approximately 82 sqm on a plot of around 150 sqm, offered as a redevelopment site in West Square. Full planning permission has been granted to demolish the existing dwelling and build two two-storey semi-detached homes. Each proposed home is designed for two-bedroom, three-person accommodation of approximately 78 sqm, with a private rooftop garden of around 20 sqm and ground-floor garden space. The approved scheme also includes cycle and refuse storage, landscaping and associated enabling works, with no on-site parking.
The property is within the West Square Conservation Area and is not statutorily listed. The neighbouring former Charlotte Sharman Primary School closed in August 2025; its future use is not confirmed. West Square Gardens is opposite, with Elephant & Castle, Lambeth North and Waterloo providing nearby transport connections. Shops and services around Walworth Road and Elephant & Castle, and amenities in Waterloo and the South Bank, are also accessible. Planning and supporting documents are available on request. Viewings are by appointment through Allen Heritage's Land Department.
WHOTS analysis
Our WHOTS verdict
An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.
30out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity
Confidence: LOW
The standout is the stated full planning permission to replace the existing house with two two-storey homes, each with its own ground-floor garden and rooftop garden. Opposite West Square Gardens and well connected for central London, the site has a compelling setting; the existing building is a straightforward starting point for a project rather than the main attraction.
The overall opportunity is nevertheless weak at 30/100. At £1.35m, the asking price is about £1,607 per sq ft against a local average of £859, so the price looks dear, and there is not enough information to assess renovation economics. The proposal and its conditions, implementation feasibility and Conservation Area context all warrant careful verification.
Key opportunities
- Explore the stated permission to demolish the existing house and build two two-storey homes.
- The proposed homes each include a private rooftop garden and ground-floor garden space.
