Family Living At Its Finest, On One Of South East London’s Most Sought After Streets. This impressive Edwardian home has a superb sunlit kitchen, sociable living spaces and a back bedroom balcony overlooking a peaceful & private south facing garden.

It may be something of a cliché but this really is a rare opportunity to own a meticulously cared for period property on one of South London’s most desirable streets. 

Homes rarely come to market here, and No.65 is particularly special - having had only three owners in over 120 years, with the current family enjoying 25 happy years here. 

As you’d expect, it’s been lovingly maintained, with thoughtful updates that honour the home’s rich history while enhancing its modern comfort and sense of style.

A gorgeously grand facade welcomes you up an original tiled path and to a picture perfect stained glass front door.

Inside, the heart of the home is the spacious, sunlit kitchen - a sociable hub where natural light floods through solar-powered Velux windows. 

The original floorboards, high ceilings, and cosy gas fire give it real character, while the stable door opens onto the south-facing garden, perfect for morning coffee or summer gatherings. 

The original built-in display dresser, often adorned with fairy lights at Christmas, adds a touch of period charm that feels just right. It’s the perfect place to show off your dinnerware or much-loved trinkets.

The living room is equally impressive - an inviting space with a beautiful bay window, intricate ceiling roses, two original fireplaces, and stained glass that catches the light just so. 

It’s the kind of room that feels warm and welcoming whether you’re hosting friends or unwinding with family after a busy day.

Upstairs, you’ll find six generously sized double bedrooms, spread over two floors.

The primary bedroom, overlooking the tree-lined street, easily accommodates a super-king bed while retaining a spacious feel. 

The bedroom at the rear has the unique bonus of a beautiful balcony - a perfect spot to enjoy the garden views and catch the sun. 

There’s a family bathroom on each of the upper floors and both were updated in 2021, complete with underfloor heating and quality fixtures, while a convenient downstairs loo was added earlier this year. 

It’s a practical property too, with a full height cellar that’s ideal for storing suitcases, holiday decorations and even additional fridges or freezers. At the top of the house the boarded attic provides further storage, keeping everything neat and organised.

Whilst there’s no shortage of space there is even more potential to unlock. Active planning permission has been secured to extend the kitchen, with architect plans and party wall agreements all in place. 

Some neighbours have also converted their cellars and attics into living spaces, giving you the option to further enhance what is already a substantial and flexible family home, subject to planning of course.

The sunny south facing garden is one of the standout features  - private, peaceful and bursting with seasonal colour. 

Designed and planted back in 2001, it’s been lovingly nurtured and features everything from purple crocuses in February to autumnal grasses. 

It’s full of life, with birdsong, woodpeckers, and even the occasional green parrot passing through. There’s also a charming little shed, once a playhouse for the children, now a peaceful spot to relax or potter.

The location couldn’t be better. 

Set within the Camberwell Grove Conservation Area, Grove Park is renowned for its friendly community spirit and beautiful period architecture. 

Residents love the leafy, peaceful feel while being just minutes from the vibrant hubs of Bellenden Road and Camberwell. 

Bellenden Road is only a 5 minute walk away and is known for its independent shops, restaurants, and cafés - including favourites like The Begging Bowl, Artusi, and The Victoria. 

Further afield, Camberwell offers a thriving arts scene, while Dulwich’s excellent schools (including Dulwich College, Alleyn’s and JAGS) are all within easy reach.

The transport links are outstanding too. 

You’re just a short walk from Overground stations at Denmark Hill, Peckham Rye, and East Dulwich - offering quick connections to London Bridge, Victoria, and beyond. 

Buses from nearby Champion Hill link you to central London and neighbouring areas.

Grove Park itself is a wide, tree-lined street where neighbours know each other by name and take pride in their community. There’s even a Tree Base Gardening Club, adding colourful planting beneath the London Plane trees that line the road. 

You’ll also have access to Lettsom Gardens - a private “secret garden” space,  exclusively for residents to enjoy.

This impressive family home is offered chain-free - a truly unique opportunity in one of South London’s most cherished locations. 

Early viewing is highly recommended, as homes on Grove Park are rarely available.
