2 Bedroom Apartment For Sale

Property description

Nestled on the lower ground floor of one of the most glorious houses on Camberwell Grove, this two bedroom Grade II listed beauty is sure to impress with some of the finest period detailing we've ever seen. The property is set back from the main road in a leafy crescent and forms part of a stately row of white terraced houses. Take away the parked cars and you'll feel like you've stepped back in time. The property also comes with an off-street private parking space - a rarity for houses on the Grove.

The entrance to the property is found by heading down a set of steps to a private front door. Before heading inside you can stash the bike in a coal bunker turned storage area - very handy. Open the door to be greeted by the entrance hall. Natural stone flooring and antique lighting set the theme for the property. We love the door leading to the main hall, it's lead panelled with art nouveau glass - beautiful. Onwards to the main hallway, decked with natural walnut flooring and atmospheric low voltage spotlighting. Tucked away at the far end of the hall, a space has been carved out for a workstation, perfect for those industrious types. The current setup can comfortably house a desk, computer and shelving.  Need space to bung all your clutter? The huge amount of storage under the stairs has you covered.

Turn right at the end of the main hall to reach the master bedroom. A beautiful sash window provides plenty of natural light and a pleasant view onto the patio. The shutters on the window are custom-made from antique Victorian doors, a really smart touch. A reconditioned column radiator sits under the window, perfectly matching the style of the room. Storage needs are taken care of with a large cupboard, housing shelving, a clothes rail and shoe rack. To cap it all off there's an en suite shower, wc and hand basin. Exit the bedroom and turn right into the bathroom. It's a fantastic example of period design and packed with beautiful reclaimed pieces that fit sympathetically in the space. Original floor boards, wood panelling, salvaged Victorian wc, original art deco sink and taps (circa 1925), vintage cast iron bath with brass claw feet, wall integrated Lefroy Brooks taps are all wonderful, well thought out touches. Light is supplied by a box window looking out onto the patio.

Back up the hall, turn left and into the second bedroom. This has a natural carpet, a nice view onto Camberwell Grove (from a sash window with those lovely Victorian shutters) and has enough room for a double bed. A lovely column radiator features again. Exit and turn right into the reception. It's a good size, and as we've come to expect, has many beautiful features. Natural walnut flooring makes an appearance again but the feature we love the most is the cast iron Morso wood burning stove that sits perfectly in an original Georgian fireplace. It'll make a cosy scene come winter. There's also another sash window looking out to the front and an integrated custom bookcase to house all those winter reads. The reception leads into the kitchen, another master class in period design. There's room for a large dining room table which will accommodate the plethora of wonderful cuisine produced from the five ring gas hob and range cooker with double oven. To left is a butler sink. The counters are particularly nice, made from Iroko wood reclaimed from a school lab! Continuing the reclaimed theme are the industrial pendant lights sourced from a Czech factory - no detail has been over looked. An integrated dishwasher and fridge freezer finish the room.

The patio is accessed from kitchen and is a sweet shaded space with room for a table and chairs. Stairs lead up to sizable garden (the width of the house) with mature hedges which is currently being landscaped. When finished there will be a turfed lawn with restocked borders.

The transport options are good; Denmark Hill station (Zone 2) for fast, regular services to Victoria, Blackfriars and London Bridge is a 7 minute walk. The highly considered London Overground Line has completed its outer orbital route around London and also serves Denmark Hill. Clapham High Street, Clapham Junction, Islington, Shoreditch and Canary Wharf (via Canada Water) are now all easy as pie. There's even a fancy new ticket hall to boot! There are also a multitude of buses running close by on Camberwell Church Street into the City and the West End. The very excellent Lyndhurst Primary is but a moment's stroll as are a plethora of eateries including Angels and Gypsies and the excellent Crooked Well is located behind the property on Grove Lane. The trendy Bellenden Road is only a five minute walk away and hosts some fantastic pubs, restaurants and shops. It's fast becoming the new 'place to be'. Camberwell Art School and the Dulwich Foundation schools are all a short drive or bus ride away and there are plenty of shops nearby including a host of independent food shops in Camberwell Green. Keeping fit? The newly renovated Camberwell Baths is stunning and within 60 seconds from your door. Ruskin Park is a short hop and you have the Butterfly Tennis Club on your doorstep - anyone for Pimms?
