New Church Road, Camberwell

£575,000

Bright and classy two double bed apartment of 866 square feet, with a great layout, and a private open balcony to parkland and skyline views. Find the property on the third floor of a recently-built and attractive red-bricked corner building, in a pleasing park-side position, putting you within walking distance of Oval, Kennington and Denmark Hill stations, and mere steps from excellent day and night bus routes on Camberwell Road - to Elephant & Castle and beyond. Leasehold.

Built just four years ago, the smart apartment building welcomes you with a huge double-height atrium from where you can take the stairs or lift to the third floor and your own front door.

On entry you land in a generous hall, with navy hue to the walls. First on your right is the second double bedroom of over 11 feet by over 11. Large double-glazed windows deliver impressive views. To your left of the hall is a handy utility space and adjacent the main bathroom which has contemporary fittings, large profile tiling, a timeless white suite, concealed plumbing, and an over bath shower. Next on your right is the main event: a vast and double-aspect reception/kitchen/dining room, stretching 26 feet by over 11. Zone your seating and eating areas as you wish, and in the far corner, access your private balcony which is a super spot for admiring the London skyline views beyond Burgess Park’s expansive greenery. Gloss white units gleam in the kitchen, and the appliances are integrated (and staying for the buyer). The last room of the tour is the master bedroom of over 13 feet by over 10, with slick en suite shower room.

After an impressive and expensive revamp, Burgess Park now has a fishing lake and tennis courts, plus cafe and popular lake-view BBQ areas, as well as beautiful seasonal planted schemes. Chumleigh Gardens, within the park, has particularly lovely floral displays and ‘Art in the Park’ has various free workshops. Theatre Deli is local too, on nearby Wells Way.

Camberwell Leisure Centre is a good one with Victorian pool and strong gym facilities and classes. Camberwell Church Street is a short stroll (just 11 minutes) for pubs, cafes and restaurants. We like Hermits Cave and The Camberwell Arms, Theo’s for pizza, The Pigeon Hole cafe for coffee, and The Crypt for Friday night live jazz. The Hill Bakery on Grove Lane is worthy of mention, plus The Crooked Well a few doors up, and Butterfly Tennis Club too. For further options, Oval, Kennington, Bermondsey and Peckham are all close. Bermondsey Street's September festival is one not to miss.
