We are delighted to offer this well-presented two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment set within the highly sought-after and architecturally distinctive Mary Datchelor House, a converted former school building of real character and heritage.

Originally designed by renowned architect Thomas Chatfeild-Clarke and founded through an 18th-century charitable endowment, the building offers a rare blend of historic charm and contemporary living, further enhanced by weekday concierge service (Monday to Friday 9am – 4pm), well-maintained communal gardens and secure allocated garage parking.

The apartment itself is generously proportioned and presented to high standard. At its heart is a bright, open-plan reception space, offering ample room for both relaxing and entertaining. The sleek, modern kitchen is finished to a high standard, featuring integrated Siemens appliances, marble worktops, a breakfast bar, and a refined combination of wood-effect and white cabinetry. The principal bedroom is a calm and stylish retreat, comfortably accommodating a king-size bed, additional furniture and benefitting from a built-in wardrobe. The adjoining en-suite shower room is finished with marble surfaces, a double walk-in shower and contemporary fittings. The second double bedroom is equally well-proportioned and served by a smart and contemporary family bathroom, also finished with marble worktops and modern tiling. Additional hallway storage further enhances the practicality of the home.

Mary Datchelor House occupies an enviable position straddling Camberwell Grove and Grove Lane, two of SE5’s most prestigious, tree-lined streets, surrounded by elegant Georgian and Victorian architecture. Perfectly positioned above all the amenities of Camberwell High Street, the apartment offers immediate access to a vibrant mix of independent cafés, restaurants, bars and local favourites.

Denmark Hill Station (approximately 0.5 miles) provides excellent transport links via Zone 2 services, including Thameslink, Victoria services and the London Overground, connecting you effortlessly to the City, West End and fashionable East London. The area is also exceptionally well served by green space, with Burgess Park (0.5 miles) and Ruskin Park (0.6 miles) both within easy reach.
