Property description
Pure Georgian heaven! The current owners have married original charm and modern convenience perfectly to create a welcoming, sympathetic and tasteful period home. The accommodation glides gracefully over three wonderful floors. You'll note original sash windows, timber floors, inner doors, cornicing and shutters. The bathroom and kitchen are both elegant and befitting. A nicely sized patio garden offers a rear access point directly to County Grove AND a rather impressively proportioned heated swim spa. As it's covered, you can have a dip and enjoy some bubbly whatever the weather - very James Bond! The area boasts many advantages. You're within a walk of Oval for a zone two Northern line station. A ramble in the other direction brings you to any number of popular culinary and social hot spots in Camberwell.
The friendly, flat fronted exterior greets you warmly with an arched lower sash window. This emulates the fanlight which boasts some beautifully bright stained glass - a fine start indeed! Inside you meet with fab aged timber floors, original cornice work and a polite original staircase straight ahead. The double reception invites you right to find a stunning period fireplace with marble mantel. It's flanked by low level storage units and shelving. The front facing arched sash has its original shutters - as if the charm offensive wasn't already succeeding! Central double doors allow for one large or two separate rooms (handy for when there's a banquet to dine). Pretty French doors with more shutters open rear to the garden and offer the first tantalising glimpse of the hot tub; insist your guests eat their greens before taking the plunge.
From the end of the hall you run uninterrupted to a fab eight metre long kitchen/diner which is kept light by two overhead Velux windows and a long multi-pane wooden sash. The food prep space is generously hosted on moveable granite topped units which run along the left wall. There's a wide ceramic sink and a fab five ring gas range. We especially love those white wall tiles and wire pot hanging area. The garden is accessed from here and supplies BBQ and sun lounging space. The spa speaks for itself - bottoms up! Back inside venture upward to find the stairwell kept bright and airy by a large rear facing window. Roller blinds diffuse the light creating a lovely ambience. The front facing bedroom lavishly sprawls to the full width of the building nabbing two jaw-dropping floor to ceiling original sash windows and a wide marble feature mantel. There's more cornicing and some extensive built in book shelves. Next is a dishy bathroom with roll top bath, heated towel rail and separate walk in shower. Travertine 'Fired Earth' wall and floor tiles and underfloor heating make for the perfect spot for a long soak, shave and scrub. Winding upward again you find another large front facing bedroom with feature fireplace, shelving and stripped timber floors. The third double bedroom is complete with a handsome accent wall, recessed shelving and a peaceful aspect over County Grove.
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 very lovely 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 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!
