Grove Lane, Camberwell

£500,000

Offers in excess of £500,000.

Big and bright two bedroom ex-LA first floor apartment within a low-rise brick-built block on gorgeous Grove Lane, within Camberwell Grove Conservation Area.

Walk just six minutes to Denmark Hill Station, or 10 to East Dulwich Station. The town centres of East Dulwich, Camberwell and Peckham are all within an easy walking distance.

Communal areas are neat and well-maintained. Your own front door is on the first floor and you open into a hall with built-in cupboard immediately to your left (fab for coats and the like).

Bedroom one is set to your left (of over 9 feet each way) and has a built-in closet by the door. A double-glazed window (the apartment is double-glazed throughout) looks onto quiet communal grounds at the back of the building,

Bedroom two is next up - of over 15 feet by over 10 feet, with a bank of fitted closets. Both bedrooms have pale carpets underfoot.

There is another fitted cupboard in your hall, and opposite this is a modern internal bathroom. Contemporary fittings, under-basin storage and an over-bath shower all impress.

The flat’s ‘best bit’ awaits: the huge reception/dining room/kitchen, extending approximately 20 feet. It is a super space in which to entertain, and has a southwesterly orientation - so you will enjoy wonderful light throughout the day, and also taking in the seasons as they change. Engineered wood floors (high-quality) flow through from the hall.

The fitted kitchen is a modern affair, with units in two hues. These are teamed with wooden worktops and metro-style tiling. Appliances are integrated, and pleasingly are included in the sale.

Lawned areas are communal and well-tended (you have sunny daffodils too!) and for larger expanses, you are close to delightful parks: Ruskin and Brunswick. Lucas and Lettsom Gardens are close by as well.

There is a cute run of shops and cafes on Grove Vale plus a M&S next to ED Station, or saunter a little further - down to Lordship Lane - for loads more options and great independent grocery shopping and North Cross Road’s lush Saturday market. Peckham’s villagey Bellenden Road is close too, and of course central Camberwell - here we love Forza Win, The Camberwell Arms, Veraison Wines, Theo’s, Little Cellars and Gladwell’s. Your most local pubs include The George Canning, The Phoenix and Grove House Tavern.
