Lambeth’s Minet Conservation Area hosts this substantial, traditional and characterful Victorian semi-detached house over three floors, with four bedrooms, both bath and shower rooms, and a well-established south-west facing garden stretching 30 feet.

There is more! You are in a pleasing park-facing position, and the house is being sold chain free.

Myatt’s Fields (Victorian 14-acre) Park is mere strides from the door. Also local is popular nursery ‘The Nest’. And your closest stations are Loughborough Junction (10 minutes by foot) and Stockwell, Oval and Denmark Hill (all within 20 minutes).

Excluding the useful basement space, you have 1859 square feet to spread yourselves out over. A cute walled front garden and tiled path (get ready for the gorgeous hall tiling, too) offer a warm welcome. High ceilings impress on entry as well.

Take a right from the hall for your front reception room which is open to the second. These are over 16 feet by nearly 13 feet, and over 11 feet by over 10 feet. Stripped floors, sash windows, picture rail coving and rose detail bring smiles. As does the central fireplace to your front room.

At the foot of the hall you have your big and bright double-aspect kitchen/diner, with fitted blue units paired with wooden worktops, and an original feature fireplace plus alcove shelving. The room runs over 20 feet by over 11 feet. Double doors take you out to the garden, which is laid to lawn.

Up to the half-landing and you have a modern windowed shower room to your right, and the first of your double bedrooms ahead (a good double, with sash to verdant vistas).

From the main landing you have got a very large bathroom (with independent walk-in shower and free-standing bathtub), and a massive principal bedroom across the front of the house: this is over 17 feet by over 16 feet, with wooden floors and sash windows facing onto the park (a very nice way to live!).

Your second floor delivers your two further and final doubles. These are over 16 feet by nearly 14 feet, and over 12 feet by over 11 feet. built-in closets feature to both, and pale carpets.

What is local? Myatt’s Fields Park is your closest green space: a gorgeous, listed Victorian-era park with lots of open space, fine bedding displays, tennis courts and a bandstand. The park benefited from an impressive renovation which was completed in 2010. It is such an awesome community resource and is one of Lambeth’s nine Green Flag Award-winning parks.

Camberwell is firmly on the map for good food, and more recently, wine bars too. We particularly rate Theo's, The Camberwell Arms, Veraison Wines, Forza Win and Little Cellars.

For luxury groceries, check out Gladwell’s on Camberwell Church Street. Camberwell Green has a cute Saturday Farmers’ Market. Myatt’s Fields has one on Sundays (both begin at 10am). Your most local (and top) pub is The Bear.

Heading towards and into Brixton, you have great options too. We like Mamma Dough, Three Eight Four (for cocktails and small plates) and Banh Banh. And of course Brixton Village for its many and varied eateries to suit all budgets and tastes.

Camberwell Leisure Centre has a large Victorian pool and gym facilities, and a good range of classes for adults and kids alike.

For cricket lovers, The Oval is a 20 minute walk.

Local schools include Crawford Primary, Comber Grove, St Joseph’s and Christ Church. You are also a short drive from the Dulwich independent schools (including Dulwich College, Alleyn’s and JAGS).

Getting around is easy. Grab a bus to the City, West End or Whitehall from Brixton Road; or to Victoria, Hyde Park and Paddington from Camberwell New Road. Or trot to Stockwell, Oval or Brixton for the tube (Victoria and Northern lines), or Loughborough Junction or Denmark Hill stations.
