Shenley Road, Camberwell, SE5

Impressively Modernised Four/Five Bedroom Period Home in Top Spot.

This fantastic period home has been expertly modernised to include a full-width kitchen/diner extension, a fabulous master suite and a jaw-dropping upper terrace with adjoining bespoke ply-wood office (or fifth bedroom). The accommodation flows gracefully over three and a half floors and further includes four double bedrooms (master ensuite), a lovely double reception, bathroom, shower room and a storage cellar. There's a healthy sprinkling of period features, including cornicing, fireplaces and flooring. A generous and well presented rear garden backs onto a handsome period piano factory and supplies ample space for sunbathing and entertaining. Shenley Road is a really popular, mature period street which is well stocked with similarly lovely Victorian properties. It runs from bustling Peckham Road up toward Lyndhurst Grove and the Bellenden Renewal area. From here you can stroll to any amount of social endeavours - there are bars, eateries, parks and cultural hotspots in every direction. Peckham Rye and Denmark Hill stations are both roughly a 10 minute stroll for unbeatable connections. You'll enjoy swift services to London Bridge, Victoria, Blackfriars, Elephant & Castle and Canada Water for the Jubilee Line. Oval Station offers excellent zone 2 Northern Line services. It's an easy 15 minute bus ride. There are two excellent early years schools within a 5 minute walk; Sunshine Fruits Montessori Nursery and The Villa Nursery & Pre-Prep.

A handsome exterior sits back from the street with beautiful mature Wisteria creeper which flowers twice a year. A recessed portico leads to your period door which boasts a lovely stripped finish and some original stained glass. A large double reception sits on your left with both feature fireplace and cast iron stove. There are abundant bespoke bookshelves and a wide front aspect canted bay window. Ornate original cornicing and ceiling rose add to the ambience.

The access to the lower ground floor storage cellar sits under the original staircase - it'll hide a million sins. The bespoke 'Naked Kitchen' kitchen/diner runs to the full width of the house and has an impressive amount of contemporary cabinet space. A run of overhead skylights afford the cooking space a flood of light and there's plenty of space for seating a banquet. Appliances include dishwasher, hob, wine cooler, oven and fridge/freezer. Wide tri-fold glass doors open wide to the patio and garden which is seasonally planted to flower all year round. Snowdrops, magnolia blossoms, fruit-bearing cherry tree and some lush winter roses ensure you're surrounded with growth from January to December. The rear wall boasts a mature wisteria and virginia creeper for yet more vibrant colour. An electric awning over the terrace affords welcome shade in the warmer months.

Heading upward to the first return you meet the first of your delightful double bedrooms. It faces rear over the garden with rich yellow walls and a feature fireplace. A neat bathroom with white suite completes this level. Upward again to the first floor double doors open to present the gorgeous master suite. This fronts the property through two large sash windows and enjoys a handsome adjoining ensuite bathroom. Here you'll benefit from a freestanding bath, fitted storage and some utterly charming 'William Morris' wallpaper.

Heading up a half flight delivers you to that tremendous rear-facing study which soaks in sunny vibes through a large skylight. Abundant bespoke shelving affords all the storage you could need and there's a comfortable terrace with awning adjoining. The second floor supplies two further double bedrooms, the rear of which benefits from some super slick Crittal windows with a nifty electric blind. The rear landing is bathed in light with another overhead skylight and lots of hanging space for your works of art. A neatly tucked shower room completes the tour nicely.

You're so close to so many social attractions! The South London Gallery and Camberwell College of Arts, plus the quirky Bellenden Road shops, are all within a pleasurable amble. The much-loved Toad bakery is just a one minute stroll! You have all sorts of buses at the end of the road travelling into and across London with night services too. A 10 minute walk has you at either Denmark Hill or Peckham Rye mainline stations (both Zone 2) with services to Victoria, Blackfriars, Farringdon and beyond, (to St Albans and even Stansted!), or east to London Bridge and Cannon Street. Dulwich Foundation schools are easily accessible by bus or car. The area is also home to one of London’s best hospitals, Kings College, which is a 10-minute walk away. Camberwell enjoys an eclectic variety of independent food stores and a number of excellent bars and restaurants including Theo's for pizza on Grove Lane and the award-winning Camberwell Arms which does a cracking Sunday lunch. The renowned Grove Tavern is just one of the many great pubs in the area and the Kerfield Arms, also on Grove Lane, has recently been awarded a Michelin Star!
