4 Bedroom Terraced For Sale

A wide and generous Victorian terraced house on one of the desirable "Lyndhurst toast rack" streets between Peckham Rye and Denmark Hill stations (both zone 2 and on the London Overground network). Rich in smart, creative touches and period features - such as ceiling roses, period fireplaces, bleached wooden floors and sash windows - the house has four proper double bedrooms, bath and shower rooms, lots of reception space, and a 20ft kitchen which opens to the south-west (hello sunshine) facing garden. There's also a roomy loft space/library which lends itself to a work-from-home studio or a generous play area. Parking is unrestricted on the street.

Plenty of kerb appeal for you with a floral front garden and tiled path. Off the welcoming hall to your left is the vast through-reception (stretching in excess of 27ft) with two handsome fireplaces, and original, ornate coving. The tall bay window to the front is frosted on the lower sections so no curtains needed. Original double doors open from this room to a natural dining area with part-glazed roof and glazed door to the garden. Access is from here or from the hall to your eat-in kitchen with big ceramic sink, solid wooden counters and painted wood cupboards. The cellar is accessed from the kitchen. Open double doors out to your charming 23ft garden with favourable orientation and a noteworthy pear tree.

Up to the half landing you'll find the first of the double bedrooms (currently in use as a snug). This one has a double aspect and double doors; you can open these to emphasise the feeling of space and to exploit the natural light through the house. Next door is a recently renovated shower room with Zellige and hand-cut Spanish tiling. Up to the landing proper, you'll find a second double bedroom with sash window to garden views. The master bedroom of 16ft by 13ft (also with the double door feature) takes the width of the house and has three sash windows to street views.

Up to the second floor find the fourth double bedroom at the rear of the house with double aspect and skylight window too. Next door is the main bathroom (also recently renovated) with free-standing bath and a skylight window. Take a few stairs from the landing here to your opened-up loft-space; a big flexible space currently in use as a home-studio/library.

It's no easy feat to find this much space, light and class in such a strong spot. At the bottom of the road find The South London Gallery with posh cafe/restaurant No. 67 next door. Bellenden Road and central Camberwell are equally close for socialising, or for me or couple-time. Anderson's cafe, Review bookstore and Flock & Herd butchery are excellent recommendations on Bellenden Road. The Camberwell Arms is popular on Camberwell Church Street. A few doors down, the tapas food at Angels & Gypsies is incredible, as is the cocktail menu downstairs at Communion Bar. The Villa Nursery and Pre-Prep. School is a 5 minute walk away on Lyndhurst Grove. Denmark Hill and Peckham Rye stations are each a 10-12 minute walk for commuter services and London Overgound trains for services to Canada Water (for Canary Wharf), Clapham Junction and Shoreditch High Street.
