Full Description

Sympathetically Restored Parkside Two/Three Bedroom Victorian Home With Lovely Garden - CHAIN FREE.

The current owners of this perfectly placed parkside two bedder have lovingly restored it to include a wonderfully tasteful interior awash with complimentary contemporary and original features. Enjoying a peaceful spot opposite Lucas Gardens and within moments of the bustle, art and cuisine of Peckham and Camberwell, the property comprises two receptions, two large double bedrooms, a large kitchen/diner and family bathroom. You further benefit from double glazed windows and fantastic cast iron radiators throughout. The rear garden is truly delightful widening to an impressive proportion and with a leafy, peaceful outlook. It's perfect for entertaining. You're within walking of Camberwell's eclectic bounty of bars, cafes. The Camberwell Grove Conservation area is a delight and just around the corner. Bellenden Road is as easily walkable and offers a real 'villagey' vibe. Even closer is a fab convenience store - literally seconds away! Denmark Hill and Peckham Rye stations each have fast, frequent Victoria services and the fab London Overground Line which offers a handy Jubilee Line connection from Canada Water.

A jasmine-clad exterior sits behind high hedging and a wrought iron gate. There's plenty of space for bikes and bins preceding a recessed portico where a period door with foxy knocker leads inward. The front-facing reception, currently presented as a large double bedroom, enjoys original cornicing and a handsome feature mantel. To the rear of this sits a second reception with working fireplace and low level storage units. Crittal glass doors open rear to a gravel bed patio and on to the garden.

To the rear of the hall you meet the wonderful country-style kitchen/diner with textured period floorboards, solid wooden counters and exposed brickwork. There's additional period storage, five ring gas range and plenty of dining space to the rear. Two side aspect windows let plenty of light inward. The garden offers two separate patios, a healthy lawn and a gorgerous fruit-bearing pear tree. The space isn't over-looked to the rear so feels private and peaceful.

Upward to the first landing you find a handsome family bathroom on the rear return. A period free standing roll top bath sits under a large side aspect sash window. There's a separate walk-in shower with drencher, period loo and a lovely circular wash hand basin with twin wall mounted brass taps - yum! Wooden panneling to dado rail level completes the look perfectly. A handy laundry cupboard sits next to the bathroom. Fronting the street is a large double bedroom with lush park views and a recessed expose brick alcove. A further double bedroom with garden views, dainty feature fireplace and more fab original floor boards sits next door.

Both Peckham Rye and Denmark Hill stations (zone 2) are inside a 10 minute walk for services to London Bridge and Victoria and a whole variety of buses run into town along Peckham Road, just five minutes away. The London Overground will whisk you from Clapham Junction, through Queens Road and up to Shoreditch, Hoxton and Islington. Lucas Garden is a lovely leafy place to unwind. It has a popular play area and it's a real favourite of local dog walkers. Vestry Road has a pharmacy, restaurant and a well-stocked grocery store. Camberwell and its many bars and restaurants are but a short ramble - we love the Hermit's Cave, The Camberwell Arms and the Sun of Camberwell. Bellenden Village supplies the fantastic 'Victoria Inn' and 'Ganapati'. The popular Villa pre-prep and nursery is down the road and the Dulwich Foundation schools are a 12-minute drive away.
