Camberwell New Road, Camberwell

£650,000

Bright and delightful two double bedroom second floor apartment with a dedicated off-street parking bay, a Freehold-share, a brilliant layout, sash windows, and a private balcony with leafy vistas (directly accessed from your roomy, triple-aspect reception). Chain free.

Find your new pad just a five minute walk from the centre of Camberwell/Camberwell Green, and a 15 minute walk from Oval tube (or grab a quick bus there).

Take the stairs to the second floor and your own front door. On entry on your right is a built-in plumbed utility cupboard. Your double bedrooms rest to your left - these are over 9 feet by and nearly 10 feet, and nearly 9 feet by nearly 14 feet. Both have pale grey carpets and big, fitted to-the-ceiling wardrobes (to their near walls).

Right of the front door and you have a coat closet to your right, and then your windowed bathroom (a modern white suite featuring here plus an oversized shower head and separate spray attachment).

Next on your right is your sunny independent kitchen (SW-facing), with two sash windows, and smart fitted base units and counters.

The main event seals the deal: a large reception room running nearly 24 feet, delivering fab seating and dining areas. It is a very entertaining-friendly space. With windows to each external wall, you have great light all the day through. Open a part-glazed foot from here to your private decked balcony. Treetops are wonderful company, or invite your friends. It is also a lovely spot to enjoy a book or sun salutations.

Camberwell has cute wine bars, good pubs, and nice places to eat and to shop - beyond handy high street essentials. Check out Caravaggio’s gelateria, Veraison Wines, Little Cellars, Gladwell’s and The Kerfield, plus established spots such as The Camberwell Arms, Hermits Cave, Grove House Tavern and Nandine.

Camberwell Green has a sweet Saturday market, and is where you will also find the town’s library in a smart new building. The leisure centre (with Victorian pool) is also close to you, as is a Puregym plus private yoga studios.

For more social and leisure options, head north to Oval and Kennington, west to Brixton, or east to Peckham.

Local green spaces include Myatt’s Fields, Ruskin and Kennington Parks.
