Southwell Road, Camberwell

£600,000

Delightful two bedroom ground floor Victorian conversion apartment with a private and sunny rear part-walled garden (direct access is via both kitchen and principal bedroom) in end of terrace position.

Find your new home set between the town centres of Camberwell and Brixton, on a residential SE5 back-street, near two Fare Zone 2 stations (Loughborough Junction is six minutes by foot, Denmark Hill Station is 14) and great bus routes on nearby Coldharbour Lane.

A shared hall welcomes you, then you have your own front door to your left. You open into your neat kitchen/diner, of 12 feet by over 10 feet. As throughout the property, the interior design is exemplary. Timeless Shaker-style units are paired with wooden worktops. A ceramic Butler sink with traditional-style taps, and under-stairs storage cupboards further impress. The back door delivers you to the side-return area of the garden.

Off this room and to the front of the house is your reception room - of over 11 feet by nearly 12 feet. Here, enjoy two sash windows (with bespoke shutters), sisal flooring, a feature fireplace, and custom-made alcove cupboards and shelves.

Moving through the flat, next you have a pleasing windowed bathroom - with traditional sanitary ware and fittings, and metro-tiling and T&G detailing. Linen cupboards rest by the bathroom door in the hall. Beyond these, a left turn has you in the flat’s second bedroom: a generous single one (of over 8 feet by over 6 feet).

Finally, you have your main and carpeted double bedroom, set to the rear of the flat. Open out here to your low-maintenance garden which gets fab sun all day when it is out. Smart decking looks and works great.

A well-connected location you’re looking at: excellent bus routes can be found on nearby Coldharbour Lane, including the 345 (South Kensington/Peckham), the 35 (Clapham Junction/Shoreditch, and the 45 (Streatham/Blackfriars).

Loughborough Junction is a brief walk from your door (offering a mere 10 minute journey-time to Blackfriars and Farringdon) and Denmark Hill (both regular and Overground trains) is reached in 14. Or pick up the tube at Brixton for the Victoria line (an 18 minute walk).

Whirled Cinema is a gem, locally: a members-only cinema and bar in a railway arch on Hardess Street.

Central Camberwell and Brixton town centres are close for markets, restaurants, cafes and bars etc., including Brixton Village for pop-ups and regular eating establishments. A handful of local eateries we rate are Mamma Dough (posh pizza) and Nanban (Japanese/Brixton Market fusion) on Coldharbour Lane, and The Camberwell Arms, Little Cellars and Veraison Wines on Grove Lane - all on Camberwell Church Street.

Your nearest green space is lovely (Edwardian-era) Ruskin Park - with skyline views, bandstand and tennis courts. Also nearby is beautiful Myatt’s Fields Park: a 14 acre, Victorian-era one. It has a bandstand, tennis courts, cute cafe, and excellent bedding displays.
