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 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.
