Camberwell Grove, Camberwell, SE5

Utterly Precious Two Bed Georgian Stable-Conversion off Camberwell Grove - CHAIN FREE.

We've found the quaintest part of the best period street in south east London! Flowing beautifully over two quirkily charming floors, this uniquely idyllic two bedroom cottage offers a peaceful, friendly and oh so pretty place to hang your hat. Originally built in the early 1800's as stables for the surrounding period homes, the property offers a double-fronted, dual aspect layout consisting of a reception room, kitchen/diner, two pretty bedrooms and a well appointed bathroom. A truly sought-after and unique historic property, the cottage and its situation are a delight. No matter where you stand in this house, you cannot see a single car. There's a secluded, leafy and bright south-facing garden and access to a flat roof from the principal bedroom. The L-shaped gated mews walkway - regularly featured in Camberwell Society Open Gardens as an exemplary shared green space - is awash with mature leafiness and a palpable sense of community. Keenly placed for every conveyable amenity, you'll find yourself rarely roaming far from home.

The front door is down a private, lushly planted space off beautiful tree-lined Camberwell Grove. Very secluded and very picturesque, this property is a little oasis of calm in a popular urban setting. In true cottage style the front door leads directly into the welcoming reception with two rare ten-paned sash windows and shutters, a stylish and efficient Clearview wood burner, alcove storage and painted floorboards. A tidy opening leads into the second reception/snug with a sweet alcove seat for intimate meals which blends, through wide glazed doors, into the south-facing walled garden with views of St Giles' turret. The small kitchen sits next to the snug with stone floor tiles and a window into the garden. Stairs curve from the corner of the living room and there is a metro-tiled south-facing bathroom with a shower over the bath. The bedrooms are of similar size, both front-facing with those gorgeous ten-paned windows; the second also has French doors leading onto a small flat roof - a nice little sun trap with views over the gardens of Camberwell Grove.
