Property description
Sporting one of the most beautiful interiors along Camberwell New Road, this extravagant Georgian building sprawls over four floors and enjoys a basement level with a self-contained flat. It's packed with beautiful features, symmetrical proportions and some interesting additions (we are huge fans of the wine cellar, office and summerhouse). These towering houses are particularly well known for their deep front gardens, arched sash windows and very generous gardens (this one is over 140ft, brick walled and south-west facing).
You approach the house up a short flight of stairs to the front door with elegant fanlight. Arrive in a welcoming hallway to find an open plan living arrangement on your right. The reception room fronts the street through two arched windows with original shutters. A pale duck egg shade graces the walls and works well with the white painted timber floors which continue into the kitchen presented at the rear (there are double doors in the centre if you want to use the two rooms as separate spaces). The kitchen has an eclectic, almost country style feel with scope for freestanding arrangements. Currently there are wooden worktops arranged on both sides, a deep Butler’s sink, rear facing sash with shutters and space for a central dining table. Head back out to the hallway and take the stairs up to the first floor to find a magnificent reception/bedroom at the front of the house. There is an extra wide original fireplace with marble mantel and deep hearth, skirting boards creeping their way up the walls and two square sash windows flooding the room with light. Just behind is a noble looking bathroom with roll top tub, shower cubicle and free standing basin. Looking up you’ll spy a pulley and clothes airer to dry your clothes and a fitted cupboard housing the washing machine. The top of the house is currently home to the master bedroom (note the rooms at the front stretch an impressive 18ft wide!) and a second rear facing double.
The lower ground floor is currently arranged as a self-contained one bedroom flat with private entrance, complete with an open plan reception/kitchen, rear facing double bedroom with en suite shower room. It’s perfect for unsociable teenagers (as there is access to the main house) or extra rental income perhaps? Wine buffs will enjoy the wine cellar located under the front steps of the house – take a glass of pinot noir out to your 140ft lawned, bricked walled, south-west facing garden and breathe a sigh of contentment.
You can walk to the Oval tube (Northern Line) in 9 minutes or grab one of the many buses that whip past (a trip to Victoria will take about 20 minutes on the bus from here). All the facilities of Camberwell Green are close by, including some yummy tapas at 'Angels and Gypsies', a pint at the Hermit's Cave and the fabulous Camberwell Baths for a relaxing swim in a good old fashioned pool. Kennington Park is just up the road with its open spaces and tennis courts. Even closer is the recently renovated Myatt's Fields with kids playground and tennis courts. And if you like cricket then don your panama and take a hamper up to the Oval!
