£399,950

Sale Agreed

Big and bright one bedroom ex-LA ground floor apartment within a low-rise brick-built block on gorgeous Grove Lane, within leafy Camberwell Grove Conservation Area. A cute patio (with direct access from the reception) with a sunny southwesterly orientation seals the deal.

Walk just six minutes to Denmark Hill Station, or 10 to East Dulwich Station. The town centres of East Dulwich, Camberwell and Peckham are all within an easy walking distance.

Communal areas are neat and well-maintained. Your own front door is on the ground floor. There is notably good storage (accessible from the hall) in the flat.

Directly ahead from the front door is your bedroom. A good double, of over 15 feet by 10 feet, with a bank of built-in wardrobes. A double-glazed window further features (the flat is double-glazed throughout).

The property’s modern bathroom is off the hall. It has been beautifully and recently renovated. We love the tiled marble floor and the cheery yellow decor with matching tiles. Contemporary fittings include an oversized shower-head and separate spray attachment.

The main event awaits: your large open-plan reception room (over 20 feet) incorporating kitchen and dining areas, with a totally gorgeous parquet floor. Your fitted kitchen is a smart modern one with units in two tasteful hues, and with integrated appliances (included in the sale). SW-facing, this fab room gets great light all day through its big windows. Open a double-glazed door here to your private patio.

Lawned areas are communal and well-tended (we love the annual daffs!) and for larger expanses, you are close to delightful parks: Ruskin and Brunswick. Lucas and Lettsom Gardens are close by as well.

There is a handy run of shops and cafes on Grove Vale plus a M&S next to ED Station, or saunter a little further - down to Lordship Lane - for loads more options and great independent grocery shopping and North Cross Road’s lush Saturday market.

Peckham’s villagey Bellenden Road is close too, and of course central Camberwell - here we love The Camberwell Arms, The Kerfield, Veraison Wines, Theo’s, Little Cellars and Gladwell’s. Your most local pubs include The George Canning, The Phoenix and Grove House Tavern.
