Crofton Road, Camberwell

£499,950

Well-proportioned one bedroom ground floor Victorian conversion apartment of 531 square feet (excluding the handy cellar), with a cute courtyard garden off your kitchen. Chain free.

Find your new home on a quiet and tree-lined residential Lyndhurst toast-rack street in Camberwell/Peckham Rye borderland, between Peckham Rye and Denmark Hill Zone 2 stations - walk to these in nine and ten minutes respectively. Both are Fare Zone 2 and on the Overground network.

You share a hall with just the one flat upstairs. Your own front door is to your left on entry. You open directly into the bright kitchen. This has Shaker-style cabinetry paired with stone counters, and open-shelving detail as well. A part-glazed back door delivers you to a small yet very welcome and very private sunny (SW-facing) outdoor space.

The large reception room rests to the front of the building and is open-plan to the kitchen. It is a really traditional one, with sash windows to the big bay window and a feature fireplace. High ceilings continue to please. Engineered oak graces the floor.

Moving through the flat, next you have a smart windowed bathroom with decadent roll-top bath with ‘telephone’ style taps/mixer. There is useful storage under the basin and metro-style ceramic tiling further pleases.

Finally you have your bedroom in a peaceful spot at the back of the apartment. It is a good size and has two windows onto your garden area (so you have complete privacy).

What is around? Local green spaces include Warwick, Lucas and Lettsom Gardens (bag yourself a key for the latter for a small fee), Peckham Rye Park and Common, and Ruskin and Burgess parks.

There are plenty of useful bus routes from Peckham Road, at the bottom of the road, including the 436 (Paddington and Victoria), the 12 (Oxford Circus) and the 171 (Holborn). You will also find South London Gallery on the main road.

Central Peckham is a cultural and gastronomic mecca. Check out Bellenden Road, Choumert Road and Blenheim Grove for some top restaurants, bars and cafes (Artusi, Levan, The Begging Bowl and Ganapati to name a few), while Rye Lane gives you Peckham Plex cinema, Peckham Levels and Bold Tendencies, plus Frank's Bar and The Bussey Building's rooftop bars in the warmer months.

Camberwell leisure centre has good classes and gym and swim facilities in a pretty Victorian building.

TOAD bakery and Gladwell’s in Camberwell are great spots for luxury groceries (the latter has a Turner & George meat counter). Local recommended places to eat and drink in SE5 include Theo's, The Camberwell Arms, The Bear, Silk Road, Veraison Wines, Forza Win and The Hermits Cave.
