Description

A spacious four bedroom house set over three floors, with two bathrooms, a driveway and a garden in a popular area of Camberwell!

On the ground floor you’ll find a generously sized reception room with plenty of space for relaxing and a separate dining area with space for a family dining table and chairs. The modern kitchen area has a good range of wall and base units, complementary work tops, a tiled splash back, integrated oven and hob and looks out into the private garden. The garden is the perfect spot for a family BBQ or dining al fresco with a low maintenance paved area and some established plants and trees and benefits from a good size storage shed. You’ll also find a guest WC on the ground floor.

On the first floor you’ll find two bedrooms, the master bedroom has built in storage and an ensuite shower room. The ensuite has a double shower cubicle, a sink and a WC and is finished with neutral wall tiling. There is also a family bathroom on this floor with a three piece suite complete with a shower over the bath, a WC and a sink with storage underneath and also finished with neutral wall tiling. On the top floor you’ll find the other two bedrooms. The property further benefits from a driveway with space for one car.

The wonderful Brunswick Park which is less than 0.2 miles away offers free tennis courts and a children’s play area, making it a valuable community asset. Camberwell Green has become a real focal point to the area with its weekend farmers market and established art scene helping build on this already tight knit and friendly community. Camberwell Church Street is a 0.4 mile walk from which you can hop on several buses that will whisk you to Oval, Vauxhall (Victoria) or Elephant & Castle (Northern, Bakerloo) Underground stations. Denmark Hill Station is a pleasant 0.8 mile walk away and offers fast trains to Victoria, the Thameslink line and the Overground between Clapham Junction and Highbury and Islington. Camberwell Church Street has seen a boom in the number of fantastic independent restaurants and there is a 24/7 Gym located on Southampton Way.
