Two bedroom apartment in leafy, residential development
Retreat and recharge from the hectic pace of city life in this split-level two bedroom apartment. You have views of greenery from every window, well-tended communal grounds and that sense of being away from it all in this sought after 1980s village style development.
Walk through the front door into the wide hallway – plenty of natural light and space for coats and shoes here – with quality beech style laminate underfoot that extends into the wide reception. The décor is neutral and there is an attractive box bay window providing a natural dining and/or study space. As you are only overlooked by trees, you don’t even need curtains here. Walk through a connecting archway into the perfectly formed, U shaped kitchen which has a nice range of wood style wall and base units, white tiled splashback, stainless steel sink at the window, and the usual integrated over, hob and extractor hood.
You have plenty of understairs storage and oat coloured thick carpet up the stairs, onto the landing and into the two double bedrooms, one a little larger than the other. The white three piece bathroom suite enhances the natural light in the bathroom and you also have a deep, recessed white tiled window ledge which will accommodate all your toiletries and, ideally, a nice selection of potted plants. There is an airing cupboard on the landing and loft access too to keep those bulky items we all seem to accumulate conveniently out of sight.
Close to the conservation area of Camberwell Grove, Linwood Close is equidistant to both Denmark Hill and Peckham Rye train stations, for connections into the city and a commute to Victoria of just ten minutes. Or hop onto the new East London overground line – trains run every fifteen minutes – that will whisk you to hotspots like Clapham, Shoreditch and Highbury & Islington. Spend your weekends exploring the Bellenden Road restaurant scene – it’s just down the road – that has been credited as part of the transformation of Peckham into a buzzing, arty hotspot. The funky, independent shops, bars and restaurants of East Dulwich and Camberwell are also a pleasant walk away.
