Camberwell Grove, Camberwell

£750,000

Offers in excess of £750,000.

Architect-designed two bedroom second floorconversion apartment with thoughtful custom-made storage, beautiful lofty and leafy vistas, and a Freehold-share. Permit-parking (via Southwark Council) is on-street for residents. Denmark Hill Station is but a five minute walk. Bus travel is a cinch, too, from nearby Camberwell Green.

There is a shared main door and the communal hall is notably neat and neutral. Take the stairs to the second floor where you’ll find your own front door. On entry on your right is a to-the-ceiling built-in cupboard, for coats, the vacuum and such.

On your left is the door to your glorious and generous reception room. This runs over 19 feet by over 11 feet, and has a southwesterly orientation. Two sash windows mean you can bask in great light all the day through. Further welcome features are engineered wood floors, fresh white walls (as throughout), and slimline column radiators.

Your sleek and modern matte fitted kitchen is tucked round the corner. Smile at another sash window to green views here. Appliances (including dishwasher) are high-end, integrated, and included in the sale.

Your two double bedrooms rest to the front of the building. The sellers have cleverly adapted both rooms to maximise the space and to provide useful storage. One room has a walk-in wardrobe/dressing area, the other has a walk-in store.

Finally, you have your smart internal bathroom at the end of the hall. This has modern white sanitaryware and an over-bath shower.

You are in wonderful Camberwell Grove Conservation Area heartland here, very close to central Camberwell and to Denmark Hill Station (Fare Zone 2). Central Peckham is an easy walk as well: 15 minutes.

Boasting impressive architecture (Georgian in the main), Camberwell Grove - the worthy star of a charming episode of the BBC series ‘The Secret History of Our Streets’ (2016) - follows the line of a grove of mature plane trees which once led from a Tudor manor house which afforded an excellent view of the City of London, just three miles to the north.

For local public green spaces, you are really close to St. Giles Churchyard and Lucas Gardens, with Lettsom Gardens, Myatt’s Fields, and Brunswick and Ruskin Parks but a short walk away, too. Brockwell Park, Peckham Rye Park & Common, Burgess Park and even Dulwich and Greenwich Parks are also all easily reached.

Central Camberwell has a strong - and getting ever stronger - foodie/drinks scene. Some of our favourite places are The Camberwell Arms, Silk Road, Nandine, Theo’s, Gladwell’s, Little Cellars, TOAD (bakery) and Veraison Wines.

Ace local pubs include Grove House Tavern, The Kerfield, Hermits Cave, The Crooked Well, Stormbird, The Phoenix (by the station) and The Tiger.

Zen Yoga Studio is close, as is Butterfly Tennis Club. Camberwell’s leisure centre is nearby too - with two pools and gym facilities in a Victorian setting.

Peckham’s close as we’ve mentioned - Peckham’s night and high life includes rooftop bars atop Peckham Levels and The Bussey Building. Peckham Plex Cinema is great (and there is a Picturehouse cinema on East Dulwich's Lordship Lane).

Bellenden Road’s best spots include The General Store, The Sourcing Table, The Begging Bowl, Artusi and Ganapati.

For more options, Dulwich, Herne Hill and Brixton are all close.
