Bushey Hill Road, Camberwell, London

Seriously lovely two double bedroom period apartment with a super layout, a private south-west facing garden, a long lease, and its own front door.

Find it within a huge and handsome Victorian house at the top/southerly end of one of the long, leafy, desirable streets which make up the ‘Lyndhurst toast-rack’. Your new cool and classy conversion takes the entire ground floor, with garden access from both the kitchen and the master bedroom. Nice!

Peckham Rye Station is your closest one (just eight minutes on foot). Denmark Hill Station isn’t much further (10 minutes). Both offer regular rail plus Windrush line services. Bellenden Road is your local high street area. The town centres of Camberwell and Peckham are both really close for buses, an impressive range of places to eat, drink, and things to do. Permit-parking is on-street.

Pop down a couple of steps to your own front door. You open into a hall area which is open to your modern, fitted kitchen that is 18 feet long. There is a nod-worthy volume of wall and base units, and we are big fans of the hexagonal tiles to the wall and the smart quarry tiles to the floor. A glazed door opens at the foot of the room and keeps matters bright, too.

To your left is the huge, impressive reception room of 19 feet by 14 feet (you have plenty of space to zone seating and dining areas), with engineered oak flooring, a feature fireplace surround, a built-in cupboard plus shelving to one alcove, a column radiator, and a big bay window with custom-made shutters.

Leaving this room there is a utility cupboard to your left (plumbed for a washing machine) then your luxury, recently-refurbished hotel-style bathroom is next door. This has large profile tiling, high-end contemporary sanitaryware and fittings (fittings are on-trend monochrome), and you have underfloor heating.

Off to your right is the second bedroom, of 12 feet by nearly 10 feet, with built-in closets and a sash window.

At the rear of the flat is the double-aspect principal bedroom, of 13 feet by 9 feet. Open out here onto your private outside space. The largest part of the garden is set at a slightly higher level than the flat, and gets great sun owing to its south-westerly orientation.

Local green spaces include Warwick, Lucas and Lettsom Gardens (bag yourself a key for the latter, for a small annual fee), Peckham Rye Park and Common and Ruskin and Brunswick Parks.

Your most local nursery school is The Villa, just at the top of the street. Local primary provision includes The Belham and Lyndhurst schools (3-11).

You are close to two excellent Zone 2 stations. Both offer regular and Windrush line services. There are also plenty of useful bus routes from Peckham Road, just down the hill, including the 436 (Paddington and Victoria), the 12 (Oxford Circus) and the 171 (Holborn).

Really locally, TOAD bakery is well worth its queue, opposite South London Gallery. Your local green spaces include Warwick, Lucas and Lettsom Gardens, Peckham Rye Park and Common’s 113 acres, and Brunswick, Burgess and Ruskin parks.

Local eating and drinking establishments we would point you in the direction of include Cafe Mondo, Theo's, The Camberwell Arms, The Kerfield, Veraison Wines and Little Cellars (SE5) and Mr Bao, Peckham Bazaar, The Montpelier, Ganapati, Lai Rai, The Begging Bowl, Artusi and Hausu (SE15).

In the warm months of long days, Rye Lane’s rooftop bars are the go-to destination for cocktails and people-watching. Rye Lane is also where you’ll find Peckham Plex Cinema (£5.99 films!), The Bussey Building and Peckham Levels.
