Linnell Road, Camberwell

£1,295,000

Delightful bay-fronted Victorian house with three double bedrooms plus a home office, on one of the lovely 'Lyndhurst toast-rack’ quiet back streets, just a 10 minute walk from Denmark Hill Station (/14 to Peckham Rye Station). A sunny and pretty paved garden seals the deal.

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

Kids or thinking of? Local and popular schools include Lyndhurst, The Belham and The Villa.

From the welcoming hall you have a formal front reception to your left, of over 13 feet by over 12 feet - with stripped floors, window seat/storage, an attractive central feature period fireplace, alcove storage (cupboards and shelving), and picture rail, coving and ceiling rose detail. Custom-made shutters to lower window panes further impress and provide privacy.

Adjacent is a second generous reception room: a natural den/TV room, of over 10 feet by over 11 feet, which is part-open-plan to your fabulous kitchen/reception. Such a great setup for entertaining, your back room is over 16 feet by nearly 15 feet, with modern tri-fold double-glazed doors onto your sunny and low-maintenance garden, plus a pair of Velux windows. The kitchen has timeless navy Shaker-style units, high-end integrated appliances, and a central island, plus lots of built-in shelving.

Your ground floor further hosts a utility cupboard and downstairs w.c. (access the useful cellar via here).

Up the stairs and from your half-landing you have the property’s main (windowed) bathroom straight ahead. This is well-designed, with both bath and independent shower, brick-style tiling, and good built-in storage cupboards. Next door is a cute study/nursery, of over 6 feet each way.

From the landing proper, find a good double to your right - of over 11 feet by over 10 feet. This has a sash window, pale carpet, and a sweet feature fireplace.

Then across the front of the house is your principal bedroom, of over 15 feet by over 13 feet, with a big bay window and an additional sash. Both alcoves have great built-in storage for clothes/linen etc.

Up the stairs again and you have your third and final double bedroom/ideal guest suite, with a modern en suite shower room.

Camberwell is quickly adding to an already-established list of gems (The Camberwell Arms, Hermits Cave, Theo’s, The Kerfield and Grove Lane Tavern among others) - check out Veraison Wines and Gladwell’s (for luxury groceries), Silk Road 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 South London Louie (cafe), and TOAD bakery (well 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 utter finest), Artusi and The General Store. Choumert Road is also close for Petitou cafe and The Montpelier pub.
