Gairloch Road, Camberwell

£995,000

Beautiful bay-fronted Victorian end of terrace house of 1014 square feet, with three double bedrooms, on one of the lovely 'Lyndhurst toast-rack’ quiet back streets, just a nine minute walk from Denmark Hill Station (/14 to Peckham Rye Station). A cute south-facing ‘city’ garden seals the deal.

From the hall, your formal through-reception rests to your right. The front room is over 13 feet by over 11 feet. The rear one (a natural dining room) is over 11 feet by over 9 feet. Smart part-glazed doors divide or connect the spaces. Other welcome features include stripped floors, ceiling roses, coving and picture rail detail and a traditional fireplace with marble surround.

At the foot of the hall you have a handy little downstairs/guest w.c. and straight ahead is your double-aspect eat-in kitchen with a run of units in Shaker-style. French doors provide your access to the garden, which is a proper sun trap and pleasingly easy to look after.

From the half-landing you have bedroom one at the rear of the house - of over 8 feet each way. Next door is the property’s bathroom with a roll-top bath and an independent shower.

From the landing proper are your two further bedrooms. These are over 11 feet by over 9 feet, and over 16 feet by over 13 feet. Both have built-in closets. Your principal bedroom has a big bay and additional sash window.

A top house in a top spot too! Denmark Hill is Fare Zone 2 and on the Overground network. You are also spoilt for choice of day and night buses on Peckham Road, whizzing you to Oval, Brixton and Elephant & Castle tube and beyond.

Local schools include Lyndhurst, The Belham, and The Villa (Nursery and pre-prep. for ages 2-7).

Camberwell is quickly adding to an already-established list of gems (The Camberwell Arms, Hermits Cave, Theo’s, Nandine, The Kerfield and Grove Lane Tavern among others) - check out Veraison Wines and Gladwell’s (for luxury groceries), Momo and Little Cellars among others.

Local Peckham nightlife includes The Peckham Pelican, Peckham Levels and The Bussey Building & Copeland Park - the latter two are on Rye Lane. Rye Lane also serves you well for fruit and veg, and handy high street shops. Other very local spots for the daytime include South London Gallery and TOAD bakery (worth the queue!).

Bellenden Road is a pleasant 15 minute stroll, for cafes and independent shops and restaurants. We love Review for books, Ganapati (Keralan food at its finest), Artusi and The General Store. Choumert Road is also close for Petitou cafe and The Montpelier pub.
