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.
