Property description
Viewings from 19th September
Seeing is believing this marvellous maison! Set between generous, well stocked front and rear gardens it supplies 3,500 sqft of bountiful bay windows, bright boudoirs and fabulous fixtures, fittings and features. You'll delight in original tessellated tiling, marble mantels, ornate cornicing and room sizes to be proud of - it'll be hard to fill! The accommodation sprawls over four floors to comprise six double bedrooms (two en suite), enormous double reception, kitchen/diner, two bathrooms and a large head height cellar. The cherry on the cake comes in the form of a terrific top floor roof terrace which soaks in sun while enjoying the surrounding tree top leafiness. One can even spy as far as the The O2 in Greenwich. The locale is as impressive as the house. You're a short stroll from Bellenden Village with its boho attractions. Peckham Rye station is easily reached on foot as is Denmark Hill. Both are on the London Overground Line. Camberwell Grove and the social and culinary delights of Camberwell are close by too.
The front garden is bordered by high black railings through which a long tiled path leads you past an array of lush foliage. A wide arched portico gives way to your original door which is preceded by original tiling to dado level. The inner hall is wide and wonderful with an uninterrupted run of original tessellated tiling, dado rails and ornate cornicing. A step left reveals a cavernous double reception. It runs the same width and has a full glorious length of 27ft. The front bay runs an extra width and frames a lush view. Original ceiling details, twin marble mantels, picture rails and French doors rear to the garden continue to charm. Further down the hall you'll find access to a large head height cellar. It houses the hot water tank with enough space left for any number of endeavours. Next on our intrepid expedition is a long and lovely kitchen/diner. Here you meet a huge central granite topped island which doubles as a breakfast bar. A further run of granite topped counter space sits on the right wall. There's a five ring gas range, twin sinks, wine storage and a lovely side bay of casement windows overlooking the side patio. The dining area sits under a glass ceiling where a wall of trifold glass doors open right back for a calming garden vista.
Back from the hall you ascend to the first return which hosts a semi tiled side aspect bathroom with modern white suite and two frosted sash windows. The first of the beautiful bedrooms boasts a bay window through which more gorgeous garden views can be enjoyed. A cast iron period feature fireplace steals the show. The first floor delivers a magically bright master room into which morning sun gushes. The second storey of the extra wide canted bay ensures an airy, pleasant environment. Cornicing, picture rails and another cast iron feature fireplace will catch your attention. A sizeable en suite shower adjoins with a front aspect frosted sash. The third reassuringly proportioned bedroom completes this level with another feature fireplace, more pretty picture rails and a peaceful view rear. Pause to catch your breath and continue upward to the second return which roughly follows the layout of its predecessor. A bright bedroom with feature fireplace and garden views faces rear proceeding a modern bathroom with side aspect. The rest of the second floor is taken with a huge bedroom with fireplace and adjoining en suite shower. The final climb reveals first your spectacular sunny roof terrace reached through glass doors. From here amidst surrounding period roof tops you can spy as far as the The 02 in Greenwich - al fresco vino with chips and dips! The loft room is a fab space with four separate skylights.
Green, quiet and peaceful but brilliantly located for town - In addition to the London Overground Line there are excellent train links to Victoria, London Bridge, Blackfriars and City Thameslink from Denmark Hill station. The London Overground Line is a massive success and offers swift, frequent services to Clapham, Shoreditch and Islington. As a resident of Grove Park, you’ll be entitled to a key to the gates of the secluded Lettsom Gardens, an attractive wooded secret garden just up the road. The excellent Villa Nursery is around the corner, local primary schools are within striking distance, whilst the Dulwich Foundation Schools are a 5 minute drive. Sainsbury’s is only a 2 minute drive, and for retail therapy, try Lordship Lane and Northcross Road where you have some of the best food and gift shops in South London and more than a handful of superb restaurants. Even closer are the very lovely Artusi Italian restaurant on Bellenden Road and Ganapati Indian on Holly Grove/Bellenden. Both are walkable in five minutes. Nearby pubs in Camberwell will keep you happily hob-nobbing with the neighbours all year round. We love The Hermit's Cave, The Grand Union and Storm Bird. The Victoria Inn on Bellenden Road does great nosh and a lovely pint.
