Dobson Walk, Camberwell

£525,000

Offers in excess of £525,000.

Bright and spacious two bedroom apartment of 701 square feet, with pleasing floor-to-ceiling windows - in a cool corner position and with a private sunny balcony.

You’ll be just the second owner of this quiet abode, found on the third floor of a dishy modern block, which is set within well-kept communal grounds. There is a communal roof terrace and bike storage as well.

It is an excellent live-in or let-out home to own, and the location is a strong one. You are super close to Burgess Park (which has seen substantial investment). Walk 5-10 minutes to central Camberwell, or circa 20 to central Peckham.

Take the lift or stairs and your own front door is on the third floor. On entry you have your smart modern bathroom to your right. To your left you have generous built-in storage/utility cupboards.

Next to your right is the principal bedroom - of over 15 feet by over 9 feet. Adjacent is bedroom two - of over 11 feet by over 7 feet.

The flat’s ’best bit’ is accessed at the end of the hall space: your massive double-aspect open-plan main room, which runs over 22 feet. A sleek fitted kitchen is in an L-shape with a multitude of wall and base units. Appliances are integrated and included in the sale. You have loads of space to zone seating, dining and even work areas.

A quiet spot but there is lots of good stuff around! Your most local large green space is Burgess Park. A sizeable one at 140 acres, it hosts a lake, tennis courts, cafes, and a large number of listed buildings - remnants of the streets which once occupied the site: an early 19th century lime kiln, the Passmore Edwards library (with local icon: the Camberwell Beauty butterfly mosaic), and former almshouses in Chumleigh Gardens, too.

There are loads of useful bus routes on Southampton Way, Camberwell Road and Camberwell Church Street, to Elephant & Castle or Oval tube stations and beyond.

Out and about? Most locally you have a Puregym and a useful Tesco store. Both of your local town centres have lots on offer including (in SE5) South London Gallery, TOAD bakery, Forza Win, Veraison Wines, Little Cellars, Hermits Cave, The Kerfield and The Camberwell Arms.

In SE15, check out Bellenden and Choumert Roads, Blenheim Grove and trendiest Rye Lane - with rooftop bars, cinema and great restaurants. Examples are Ganapati, The Begging Bowl, Artusi and Mr Bao.

Beyond Burgess, you can also stroll to Brunswick Park, Lucas Gardens and Ruskin Park. Myatt’s Fields and Peckham Rye Parks are just a little further.

Local leisure options include Camberwell leisure centre (with Victorian lane pool) on Artichoke Place, and Zen Yoga Studio on Camberwell Grove - next to Butterfly Tennis Club.

For more options, Kennington, Elephant and Castle, Brixton, Herne Hill, Dulwich, New Cross and Deptford are an easy bus ride or cycle. London Bridge, Waterloo and Tower Bridge are also just a 15 minute bike ride away.
