Grosvenor Park, Camberwell

£775,000

Cool end of terrace mews house – once a Victorian coach house/stables with hayloft and servant quarters – over three floors, with two bedrooms and two bathrooms, private off-street parking, and a large and lovely communal garden (this is shared with three neighbouring properties = excellent for summer socials!).

Find your new pleasingly-characterful home in a connected yet tucked-away peaceful position on the headline act of Southwark’s Grosvenor Park Conservation Area, close to Burgess Park and Kennington Park, and to Kennington and Oval tube stations (walk under 15 minutes to either).

Your front door sits to the side of the property, by your access to the delightful communal garden; this is sunny and laid to lawn. You have a windowed hall/lobby (with stairs leading up to your right) and a door from here opens into your main living/dining room/kitchen. This extends over 22 feet and has impressive high ceilings. Custom-made shelving and cupboards in on-trend ply impress to one wall, and you have a generous built-in storage cupboard as well.

Your (fitted) kitchen is wider than the rest of the room – visually and actually setting it back from the main lounge and eating spaces, and has its own window above the sink. Modern units and open shelves feature here, and there is plumbing and space for a dishwasher.

Your first floor delivers a big twin-sash-windowed double bedroom across the front of the building (with excellent built-in wardrobes/cupboards). Across the landing is the property’s main bathroom. This has traditional-style fittings and both bath and independent shower.

Your second floor hosts another double bedroom (of over 12 feet by over 10 feet) and a neat en suite shower room.

What's around? Great local spots include Saint Louie on Walworth Road, Kennington Park’s organic sourdough pizza place (Collective), and Fowlds Cafe (for coffee and cakes and home-cooking) on gorgeously-Georgian Addington Square.

Central Camberwell is fab for good food as well: we like The Camberwell Arms, The Kerfield, Nandine, Silk Road and Theo’s particularly, or go in the other direction for great Chinese at Dragon Castle in Elephant & Castle. Camberwell Road has got handy general high street shopping, and East Street has its legendary regular market of course.

Burgess and Kennington Parks are impressive and both have tennis courts. Oval Farmers’ Market is on Saturdays on Georgian church grounds (St Mark’s Church, by Oval tube), with produce & craft stalls & a café.

You can be in central London very quickly hopping on one of the many buses on Camberwell Road. Or head south for more options in Peckham, Herne Hill, Dulwich and Brixton.
