The Minet Conservation Area is home to high quality Victorian and Edwardian housing. The central focus of the leafy residential area is Myatt’s Fields Park: a delightful 14 acre Victorian-era park (1889.)

This bright conversion flat within the CA,with the park at the end of the street, is a large (some 893 square feet, excluding the plumbed cellar), architect-enhanced and extended two double bedroom flat, with its own front door and a big private south-facing walled garden. And there is more good news: the flat is being sold without a chain.

The property's front door is set to the right hand side of the building. Once in, on your immediate left is the cellar door.

Your basement space is in two chambers with plumbing for a washing machine in the first one. The second can be used as a home gym/media room (and for wine storage of course).

Head straight ahead from the hall for your main double-aspect room; which incorporates living, dining and kitchen areas. This is a brilliant space for casual day to day through to entertaining many.

The dreamy room runs over 36 feet (a pleasing picture window featuring at the foot) and has a wonderful vaulted ceiling (to the extended section: the dining and seating areas) plus a trio of timber-framed French doors. These deliver you out to the paved area of your large and sunny L-shaped walled garden (you also have a generous lawn). This wide side-return space is fab for meals and drinks outside (this is also accessed from the master bedroom).

The fitted kitchen is a slick and modern gloss affair, with cool ply counters and a long open-shelf. Three pendant lights further impress.

Your bedrooms are up next: the largest one, onto the garden is over 17 feet by over 12 feet, with high ceilings hosting ornate original coving. The second bedroom is over 12 feet by nearly 12 feet, sitting to the front of the building, with three sash windows.

A neat and modern internal bathroom completes the tour. This is fitted out with contemporary white sanitary ware and smart large profile wall tiles.

Myatt’s Fields Park is a genuine London hidden gem with Green Flag status, bandstand, tennis courts and impressive floral displays, plus weekly Farmers’ Market; there is another of those on Camberwell Green (where you will find Camberwell Library as well).

You are delightfully close to Camberwell’s ever-arty town centre with its effortlessly cool and growing scene of eateries and drinkeries. We like Veraison Wines, Little Cellars, Theo's, Forza Win, Grove House Tavern, Hermits Cave, The Crooked Well and The Camberwell Arms in particular. Newcomer Palacsinta looks great as well, by Camberwell Green.

There are also lots of cute cafes (Lumberjack and Love Walk Cafe are popular, and you have The Little Cat Cafe in the park of course) among handy high street shops, banks, and supermarkets. Luxury groceries can be found at Gladwell’s. Your most local pub (serving small plates) is a good one under new and enthusiastic management: The Bear.

Coldharbour Lane (up to Brixton) is also close for more options: check out Three Eight Four for happy hour cocktails and the many foodie options at Brixton Village (street food bliss).

Ruskin Park is close, too, and the centres of Brixton, Herne HIll and Peckham are all easily reached via bus, foot or cycle.

Transport? Loughborough Junction is a short stroll for Thameslink trains. You can also walk to Oval, Brixton, Denmark Hill and Vauxhall stations, or jump on one of the many buses from Camberwell New Road or Coldharbour Lane - Oval tube is just 10 minutes away, taking you into The City or West End in a further 10 minutes.
