Bushey Hill Road, Camberwell

£715,000

Sale Agreed

Generous two double bedroom maisonette of 900 square feet on a quiet, tree-lined residential ‘Lyndhurst toast-rack’ street, betwixt Peckham Rye and Denmark Hill Zone 2 stations (walk to these in 10 and 13 minutes respectively). Savour both Peckham and Camberwell in this leafy, mature spot between the two town centres.

The high-ceilinged property has been recently and pleasingly renovated to a very high standard, successfully marrying its Victorian charm with modern finishing. Leasehold.

Take a few stairs to your own front door and you land in the big hall. Right from here is an impressive reception room of over 12 feet by nearly 12. A huge window, vertical radiator, high skirting boards and an opened-up fireplace are all welcome features.

This room lies open-plan (by design not compromise) to the eat-in kitchen of 12 feet by 10. It’s the scale of kitchen you’d find in a larger house, and pale gloss units take two of the walls, and pair well with solid wood counters. Solid oak floors tie the upper ground floor spaces together, and the east-west orientation of the building means you have brilliant light through both floors, throughout the day.

The bathroom sits in half-landing position with frosted sash window. Twin sinks, a free-standing bath, and a large shower with high quality fittings are welcome decisions, as are the large profile tiles to floor and walls. This room has recessed lighting, as does the kitchen/diner.

On the first floor proper, you’ll find the two roomy double bedrooms with pale carpets underfoot. The master bedroom takes the width of the building at over 16 feet by 12, and has a wall of bespoke fitted wardrobes, two sash windows and two old school style radiators. The second is 12 feet by over 10 with single sash to green views.

A hot home and a hot location too. Peckham and Camberwell are equally close for things to do and places to go. Each one has a good leisure centre. The South London Gallery is minutes from your door, as are lovely spots TOAD bakery and Crane's - for coffee and brunching. Camberwell gems include The Camberwell Arms, Nandine, Hermits Cave, Theo’s for pizza, Gladwell's and Grove Lane Deli, Veraison Wines, and The Crypt under St Giles Church (for live jazz of a Friday night). In Peckham, you can enjoy rooftop cocktails at Frank’s and/or atop The Bussey Building, and classy eats can be found at Mr Bao, The Coal Rooms, Levan, Miss Tapas, Artusi and Ganapati (just a handful of the gastronomic options!). There's a good cinema as well: Peckham Plex. For adventures beyond your immediately-local area, jump on a train, or there are plenty of useful bus routes from Peckham Road (at the foot of your road) - including the 436 (Paddington and Victoria), the 12 (Oxford Circus) and the 171 (Holborn).

Parks? Lettsom Gardens, Warwick Gardens, Lucas Gardens, Peckham Rye Park and Common, Ruskin, Brunswick and Burgess Parks are all local. There’s even more bubbling for this patch of London - one to watch is The Peckham Coal Line linear park.
