Spacious two bedroom Victorian garden flat with annexe
Seriously spacious, light and beautifully appointed, this covetable property sits on the lower ground and raised ground floor of a handsome Victorian terrace in Camberwell.
Just to the right of the hallway on the raised ground floor entrance is the elegant sitting room with a limestone fireplace, sash window, characterful high ceiling and good quality built in storage. Next on this floor is the clean and sparkly white tiled family bathroom, which has a luxurious, oval corner bath with corner taps and raised up WC. The back bedroom, overlooking the long back garden through a picture sash window, is currently fitted out as a study.
The bedroom at the front of the property downstairs has an en suite WC and an attractively blue tiled shower room. But it’s the farmhouse style kitchen-diner, conservatory extension and long garden that really make this property a home. With flagstone effect flooring, crisp white walls, spotlights and quality fitted units, the kitchen rolls out into the glass-roofed extension, a lovely dining area which, in turn opens onto the southerly garden. This part of the house is the place to host those big family dinners, entertain friends, or just while away a rainy Sunday with coffee and the papers.
Wend your way along the slate shingle and winding garden path past established shrubs, planted borders and curved wall seating to find the annexe, a cracking little bolthole that is already equipped as a bedroom with en-suite WC and shower room. There are so many ways you could use this space: As an office, studio, study, guest room or teenagers den.
Your nearest bus artery is Walworth Road, a short walk away, for buses that will get you to Elephant & Castle (Nothern and Bakerloo tubes and surface rail connections) in a matter of minutes. Or walk in the other direction to Camberwell New Road to hop on a bus to Oval station. You are also close to the vibrant East Street Market, the shops and eateries along Walworth Road and the endless green space that is Burgess Park – at a mile long it is Southwark’s largest. Recently revamped to the tune of a few million, it offers state of the art play areas, an outdoor gym, tennis courts, table tennis, a world class bmx track, community café, lake, wildflower planting and designated barbeque areas in the summer.
