Best and final offers invited by 3pm, Wednesday 24th April.

Architect-designed three double bed, two bath apartment of over 1250 square feet, with a Freehold-share and designated off-street parking to the front of the building (additional permit-parking is available on the street).

Find it within leafy Camberwell Grove Conservation Area. Denmark Hill and Peckham Rye stations are reached by foot in 10 and 12 minutes respectively.

The immaculate home is delivered over two upper floors, with a generous and sunny south-facing balcony that is blessed with open verdant views (as is the massive reception space - joy!). Throughout the property, you have underfloor heating, Dowsing and Reynolds light switches and plug sockets, and plenty of welcome built-in storage.

Into the neat communal hall and it is up one flight of stairs to your own front door. You open into a smart hall with built-in oak shelving.

Take a right and you land in the huge, double-aspect reception area, which stretches over 22 feet. It has a wonderful real fire for cosy nights in, and four tall and timber-framed glass doors which open to that low-maintenance balcony we have already mentioned - an utter treat whatever the season; thanks to its full southerly orientation.

The beautiful kitchen (open-plan to your reception) is a new handmade Harvey Jones one, with Miele appliances (dishwasher, dual microwave/smaller oven, full size oven and slow cooking/warming oven) as well as inbuilt bins and quooker hot water tap, and an integral large fridge.

Moving through the flat, you’ll next find a modern shower room with large walk-in shower, smart mirrored cabinets, and large profile tiling.

Adjacent is the first of the three double bedrooms (14 feet by over 10 feet), which is currently used as an additional reception room. Three timber-framed sash windows look out onto tall trees and street views. Solid oak floors are a pleasing and pervading theme, and continue up the stairs.

On the second floor, find two further double bedrooms. The bedroom to the front is over 14 feet by over 12, with one regular and one skylight window (you also have a skylight window over the stairwell). It has a built-in wardrobe and handy eaves storage, too.

The master bedroom, to the rear, is over 14 feet by over 13 feet, and has storage galore in both built-in and eaves situations.

In between the two bedrooms is the main bathroom - a new fully microcemented House bathroom, with unlacquered brass fittings. Next to the bathroom you have a laundry and boiler cupboard (the washing machine here is included in the sale).

What an excellent position to call home. Bellenden Road is a nine minute walk, and central Camberwell a similar distance, down gorgeous Camberwell Grove.

Peckham Rye and Denmark Hill stations (both Zone 2) are both local with regular and Overground services. London Bridge, London Victoria, Clapham Junction, Kings Cross St Pancras and Canary Wharf (via Canada Water), among other destinations, are all quickly reached.

Lettsom Gardens is popular with locals. A nominal yearly membership will secure you a key. A large Sainsbury’s store is close by on Dog Kennel Hill, by Dulwich Hamlet FC, and there’s also a M&S nearby on Grove Vale by East Dulwich Station (also Zone 2).

Local parks include Ruskin Park - with bandstand events throughout the summer, Warwick Gardens, Peckham Rye Park and Common and Dulwich Park.

Central Peckham is a cultural and gastronomic mecca. Check out Bellenden Road, Choumert Road and Blenheim Grove for some top restaurants, bars and cafes (Artusi, Levan, The Begging Bowl and Ganapati to name a few), while Rye Lane gives you Peckham Levels and Bold Tendencies, and Frank's Bar and The Bussey Building's rooftop bars in the warmer months, plus Peckham Plex Cinema (films for just a fiver!).

South London Gallery is close as well, and Camberwell leisure centre has good classes and gym and swim facilities in a pretty Victorian setting. The Hill Bakery and Gladwell’s in Camberwell are great spots for luxury groceries (the latter has a new Turner & George meat counter). Local recommended places to eat and drink in SE5 include Theo's, The Camberwell Arms, The Bear, Silk Road, Veraison Wines, Forza Win and The Hermits Cave.

Offspring/thinking of? The Villa Nursery and Pre-Preparatory School is close at hand (2-7). As are Lyndhurst, Dog Kennel Hill and The Belham primary schools. The Dulwich independent schools are also but a short drive.
