Property Description
A charming and well-balanced, two-bedroom, one bath, maisonette, in a highly sought-after area, with considerable storage, private gardens, off-street private parking, and a long lease of 970 years.
Conveniently sited mere moments from Denmark Hill station, and other stations nearby, you're also in a perfect position here, for enjoying various parks and the popular centres of Denmark Hill, Peckham Rye, and East Dulwich. Set over the top two floors, featuring its own front door with porch – with rooms on different levels, the flat feels like a house, yet benefits from light-filled interiors that boast views across the City. There are definite security advantages of this arrangement too. This immaculately presented property also features a recently renovated bathroom. Both bedrooms have substantial built in wardrobes, keeping the bedrooms clear and streamlined. The under stairs cupboard is a large, versatile space, that some people use as a pantry, or even an office. Substantial eaves storage in the bathroom, and finally, the loft gives you yet more long-term storage space.
Situated in a private Close that was originally designed as an open plan "garden estate" with private gardens merging into the well-manicured communal gardens – from the living room is a lovely outlook of trees, gardens and sky that's filled with blossom in the Spring. Located just a stone's throw from famous Camberwell Grove, with its Georgian houses, but set back enough to be quieter and more secluded than the road itself. This exceptional estate has been impeccably maintained, and the property is adored by its current owner, who has resided there for 30 years.

In the morning, there is artisanal coffee from the flying coffee bean at Denmark Hill Station. On the way home, there is a convenience store for that pint of milk or bottle of wine, a handy dry-cleaners and a Thai takeaway. Camberwell itself has plenty of useful shops/a Post Office plus the road at the bottom of Camberwell Grove has a great selection of ethnic restaurants including posh fish & chips! The Pheonix pub – in the original Denmark Hill station building – is a favourite for a drink after work or Sunday lunch. A Spanish tapas restaurant has just opened around the corner when you want to go out on your own doorstep. Whether you like to cook or would rather have everything done for you, plenty of retail opportunities are to hand. A large Sainsburys five minutes away also has a Starbucks to combine a latte with the regular grocery shop. Runners head towards Ruskin Park just past the station – and can keep going to Brockwell Park for a decent run with minimal road time. Camberwell baths is a beautiful period building that benefited from a multi-million-pound refurbishment and now includes a well-equipped gym as well as the swimming pool. Brockwell Lido offers open air swimming if we get more summers like this one. There's even a tennis club on Camberwell Grove.
In the other direction, East Dulwich with its Picture House cinema, trendy range of bars, restaurants, M&S Food Hall, and a wide range of specialist and artisan food shops, is close by.
Also not far away, on Bellenden Road, Artusi serves decadent pastas and superb puddings. Scoff chocs around the corner at Melange before retiring to the Victoria Inn, Peckham's best boozer. Known as London's coolest, foodiest borough (Sunday Times April 2018), Peckham's charm lies in its rough-around-the-edges vibe. The Bussey Building is the heart of Peckham and now south London's most exciting cultural hub, with theatre, concerts and art installations all year. In the warmer months, its open-air Rooftop Cinema Club screens cult movies. At Peckham Levels, previously a multi-storey car park, there's yoga, street food and a kids' play area. In the Summer, Frank's Cafe, on the roof, offers an enviable panorama of the city.
