Shenley Road, Camberwell

£1,650,000

Large, light and lovely enhanced and extended bay-fronted Victorian house with five bedrooms (all are doubles), two bathrooms, and a ‘city’ garden which faces east.

The handsome home is located on high ground (enjoy great skyline views from your second floor) on a quiet and tree-lined ‘Lyndhurst toast-rack’ street in Camberwell/Peckham Rye borderland. You are set between Denmark Hill and Peckham Rye Zone 2 stations; walk to these in 11 and 12 minutes respectively. Permit-parking is available on-street.

A neat walled front garden with mature hedge pops you back from the pavement. In your front door and you are warmly welcomed by high ceilings. Two doors to your left open to the traditional double-reception - which runs over 25 feet. Welcome features include stripped floors underfoot, sash windows, picture rail detail, and a pair of fireplaces.

Back in the hall and down a few stairs you have basement access to your right. Straight ahead is your delightful kitchen/dining room, of over 15 feet by over 12 feet. A modern fitted kitchen impresses, with an island/breakfast bar and smart picture window. It is a natural entertaining space as well, as being a joy for the day to day!

Fold open doors to your low-maintenance garden - this is decked and has outside lighting.

On your way up to the first floor you have a big sash-windowed bathroom to the rear (white suite and independent shower here) and a separate windowed w.c. with linen cupboard opposite this.

The first floor delivers three double bedrooms, all have built-in wardrobes. The largest principal bedroom (across the width of the house to the front) is over 16 feet by over 13 feet and has nice street views.

Your second/top floor provides another couple of double bedrooms (including a massive loft room with accessible eaves storage) and a slick contemporary shower room with skylight (which is accessed off the landing).

Little ones or they are on the horizon? Local provision includes Lyndhurst, The Belham, Bellenden and Dog Kennel Hill (primaries), and The Villa Nursery and Pre-Prep. School on Lyndhurst Grove (2-7).

Local green spaces include Warwick, Lucas and Lettsom Gardens, plus Peckham Rye Park and Common, and Ruskin Park.

Good to know bus routes from Peckham Road include the 436 (Paddington and Victoria), the 12 (Oxford Circus) and the 171 (Holborn). You can pick up the tube easily at Oval or Elephant & Castle.

Local eating and drinking establishments are plentiful in these parts. Ones of note include Veraison Wines, Theo's, The Camberwell Arms, Hermits Cave, Forza Win, Little Cellars and The Crooked Well (SE5), and Ganapati, Levan, Artusi, Forza Wine, Mr Bao, Miss Tapas, The Montpelier and The Begging Bowl (SE15).

TOAD bakery is very local, near South London Gallery. In the warm months, Rye Lane’s rooftop bars are the hippest destination for cocktails and people-watching. Rye Lane is also where you will find Peckham Plex Cinema (all movies £5.99) and Peckham Levels.

Peckham and Camberwell both have good leisure centres with pools plus boutique gyms/yoga studios, and The Butterfly Tennis Club is also local, at the bottom of beautiful Camberwell Grove.
