Dalwood Street, Camberwell

£399,950

Chain free two bedroom ground floor doer-upper ex-LA flat of 634 square feet, in a neat low-rise block with double-glazed windows throughout, and a generous communal garden to the rear. Permit-parking.

Your new pad is pleasingly found on a quiet residential back-street which is close to lots of parks: Lucas, Brunswick and Burgess.

Transport is easy here with brilliant bus routes aplenty on Camberwell Church Street. To connect with the tube, take a quick bus trip to Oval or Elephant & Castle. For regular train travel, you are set between Denmark Hill and Peckham Rye stations (both 15/20 minutes by foot).

Back to the flat! There is a secure-entry main door then your own front door is to your left. Your hall has three useful built-in cupboards. The first room on your left is a big and sunny south-facing reception room, of over 12 feet by nearly 16 feet.

Next along the hall on your left is the principal bedroom, of over 12 feet by nearly 11 feet. This room also enjoys a southerly aspect. Retro closet storage features in here.

To the right of the hall you first have an independent kitchen. It is dated but a good size, and the existing appliances here are included in the sale.

Next door is the property's (windowed) bathroom, with a simple white suite. A second (double) bedroom completes the tour.

What is around? Local landmarks include South London Gallery, Camberwell House/Southwark Register Office (Grade II listed), Camberwell’s iconic art college buildings, and St. Giles Church, Crypt and Churchyard. Theatre Peckham is also close by: a wonderful platform for young people to learn to act, dance and sing.

Beyond Brunswick Park (check out the cute cafe here) and Lucas Gardens, you’ve got Ruskin and Burgess Parks, and Lettsom and Warwick Gardens as well. Peckham Rye Park and Common and Brockwell Park and Lido aren’t far either.

Butterfly Tennis Club and Zen Yoga studio are also nearby, on Camberwell Grove, as well as the Victorian leisure centre with big pool, gym and classes.

Restaurants, cafes, pubs and bars are strong and varied round this way. We particularly rate The Camberwell Arms, The Kerfield Arms, Veraison Wines, Gladwell’s (luxury groceries), Little Cellars, Grove House Tavern, Hermits Cave, Nandine and Theo’s.

Walk to Peckham's Bellenden Road and Rye Lane for other excellent offerings (in about 20 minutes) - including Artusi, The Begging Bowl, Ganapati, Levan, The Sourcing Table, Peckham Levels and The Bussey Building, plus handy high street shops, pop-ups and markets.

For more options, Peckham, Herne Hill, Dulwich Village, East Dulwich, Brixton and New Cross are all easily reached.
