Calais Street, Camberwell, SE5

Substantial semi-detached park-facing four double bed, two bath house with a mature and entertaining-friendly garden (complete with pergola) which extends over 70 feet and boasts side access. Chain free.

Find your new home within Minet Conservation Area - which is home to handsome and high quality Victorian and Edwardian housing. The central focus of the enviable and leafy residential area is Myatt's Fields Park: a delightful 14 acre Victorian-era one (1889).

The property measures in just shy of 1700 square feet, delivered over three floors. A mature front garden fronts the house, and your front door is to the right hand side of the house.

Open into a welcoming hall and double doors rest to your left, opening into your front formal reception in a soft pale green hue (the decorative scheme throughout is in neutral tones). This is over 18 feet by over 14 feet, with twin sash windows and an attractive central fireplace.

Also accessed from the hall is a plumbed independent utility room, and a windowed shower room.

To the rear of the ground floor you have a huge slate-floored kitchen (a generous fitted one with integrated appliances which are integrated in the sale), which is open-plan to your dining room onto the garden. The entire triple-aspect space runs over 27 feet by over 11 feet. We love the glazing at the foot of the room - this is in a sensitive style, spanning the whole rear wall and wrapping the corners too. French doors inset which open onto your beautiful part-walled and well-stocked garden. It's a real retreat.

Up to the first floor and you have two large double bedrooms. The front one is over 14 feet by over 12 feet, with twin sash windows. The rear bedroom (the house's principal) is over 19 feet by over 11 feet, with a triple-aspect. A smart windowed bathroom with twin sinks completes the first floor tour.

The second floor hosts two charming doubles. The rear bedroom is over 11 feet by nearly 11 feet, and the front bedroom is over 11 feet by over 8 feet, opening to a cute brick-built balcony taking advantage of those park vistas and the sunny orientation.

This is a particularly lovely and leafy residential spot. You are tucked away from the hustle and bustle, yet extremely well-placed for connectivity to central London. And being directly opposite Myatt's Fields Park, you will enjoy front-row open views from which to follow the seasons.

Myatt's Fields Park is a genuine London hidden gem with Green Flag status, bandstand, tennis courts and impressive floral displays, plus weekly Farmers' Market; there is another of those on Camberwell Green (where you will find Camberwell Library as well).

You are also happily close to Camberwell's ever-arty town centre with its effortlessly cool and growing scene of eateries and drinkeries. We like Veraison Wines, Little Cellars, Theo's, Grove House Tavern, Hermits Cave, The Crooked Well and The Camberwell Arms in particular. Newcomer Palacsinta looks great as well, by Camberwell Green.

There are also lots of cute cafes (Lumberjack and Love Walk Cafe are popular, and you have The Little Cat Cafe in the park of course) among handy high street shops, banks, and supermarkets. Luxury groceries can be found at Gladwell's.

Your most local pub (serving cool small plates) is a good one under fairly new and very enthusiastic management: The Bear.

Coldharbour Lane (up to Brixton) is also close for more options: check out Three Eight Four for happy hour cocktails and the many foodie options at Brixton Village (street food bliss).

Ruskin Park is close, too, and the centres of Brixton, Herne HIll and Peckham are all easily reached via bus, foot or cycle.

Transport? Loughborough Junction is a short stroll for Thameslink trains. You can also walk to Oval, Brixton, Denmark Hill and Vauxhall stations, or jump on one of the many buses from Camberwell New Road or Coldharbour Lane - Oval tube is just 10 minutes away, taking you into The City or West End in a further 10 minutes.
