Talfourd Road, Camberwell

£435,000

Neat third (top) floor one bed 1970’s flat within 'Manor Court', with a cute private balcony off the bedroom, and a private garage resting to the rear of the boutique block (use this for your wheels/storage/both). There is secure gated access to the rear yard area.

Your new pad is double-glazed and has a Freehold-share (the building is pleasingly self-managed by the co-Freeholders). Further, it has been tastefully renovated and maintained by the current owners.

The location is one of Peckham Rye’s finest ‘Lyndhurst toast rack’ streets lined with tall Victorian townhouses, in leafy Peckham Rye/Camberwell borderland. Walk to Peckham Rye Station in just nine minutes, and to Denmark Hill Station in 11. Both are on the Overground network for Windrush line trains. You are also very close to Bellenden Road and Rye Lane, and to central Camberwell.

Through a main shared door and you take the stairs to the third floor and your own front door. On entry, first on your left is the independent kitchen, with a west-facing window. The room has been fitted-out in a modern style, with notable coated ply counters and open-shelf detail.

Next door is your reception room, also with west-facing window. It is 13 feet by over 9 feet, with space for seating and dining spaces. As throughout, crisp white walls impress.

Next along the hall is a built-in cupboard then the door to your bedroom. This is over 14 feet by over 9 feet, with sliding doors directly onto your own sunny balcony (it is east-facing = fabulous for early sun/your morning coffee). At the opposite end of the room you have a generous built-in wardrobe.

The property’s bathroom completes the tour - a contemporary affair with cool terrazzo tiles and shower over the bath.

Two Fare Zone 2 stations are easily reached. This is a super spot for bus travel too - with day and night routes just minutes away on Peckham Road.

Bellenden Road is your local high street with independent shops and restaurants including Ganapati, Artusi, The Begging Bowl, Review, Flock & Herd and The General Store.

Rye Lane and Blenheim Grove serve up more options including The Bussey and Market Buildings, Levan, Hausu, Lai Rai and Tonkotsu. In the warm months, rooftop bars are found here too. East Dulwich is easily reached for Lordship Lane’s shops, bars and restaurants, and Picturehouse cinema.

Camberwell is also close for such delights as The Camberwell Arms, The Kerfield, Silk Road, Theo’s and The South London Gallery, and the leisure centre (with Victorian pool) on Artichoke Place, plus Zen Yoga Studio at the foot of Camberwell Grove, and Butterfly Tennis Club.

Local green spaces include Warwick, Lettsom and Lucas Gardens, and Brunswick, Ruskin and Peckham Rye Parks.
