Camberwell Grove, London

Graceful, elegant and a pleasure at every step, this five bedroom Georgian classic offers a truly noteworthy living environment. The styling is tasteful and sympathetic, the accommodation generously arranged and you'll delight in a bright leafy appointment on what is arguably south east London's premiere row. If you're wondering why the pictures seem familiar, the property, due to its exceptional qualities, has featured in numerous adverts and even a recent feature film!

A beautifully landscaped front garden brings you off the Grove offering stately iron railings, mature hedging and a stunning raised cobble stone circular bed. Steps lead up to a traditional Georgian doorway with arched fanlight and there's mature wisteria cascading politely around the ground floor sash windows. An entrance lobby leads through glass pane doors into a satisfyingly wide and long inner hallway with original timber floors and simple cornicing. The vast double reception invites us to the left to enjoy an imposing period fireplace with ornate marble mantel and (as with most of the main rooms) a delicate central ceiling rose. Two front aspect sash windows peer over the garden and folding double doors open to the rear to reveal a further glorious fireplace and sash with rear garden vista. Another set of glass doors lead you back around by the stairwell to the end of the main hall where you'll find a perfectly proportioned study with built in shelving and more garden views - the ideal place to start writing your memoirs!

The rear lower return offers a handy guest wc and access to the meticulously presented garden which stretches generously. A noble terracotta warrior stands guard over the main patio which tempts you further to find a luscious landscaped lawn, pergola and a myriad of mature trees - apple, cherry, strawberry and Japanese acer to name but a few. The child within you will pause for a go on the swing which rests to the rear near a further covered seating area and shed. Back inside you'll find the lower ground floor continues to impress with a beautifully arranged county style kitchen . Along with a stunning original Georgian dresser, there's a deep twin bowl ceramic butler sink, nifty pull out larder and a stately cast iron feature mantel. Access is also offered to the front garden where you'll find two deep storage vaults - the perfect place to store wood for winter fires. There's even a further storage room under the front stairs to keep your bikes. A well equipped utility room sits next door with plenty of counter space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer. Behind it you'll find a boot room, with another w.c and hanging space for numerous coats. Also on the menu, a dining room which will host the liveliest of winter banquets with a period marble tiled floor, feature mantel and dainty French doors.

The first floor offers two of the five double bedrooms, with the master fronting the Grove. Twin sash windows with sumptuous shutters and another refined feature mantel with working fire remind you of the house's proud heritage and there's a neat en suite with period style CP Hart suite and perfectly placed bath. The main bathroom offers a similar finish with a fabulous Lefroy Brooks shower. Over the hall lies the second bedroom where calming views of the garden will delight at any time of the year. A restored period fireplace and flush recessed storage sweeten the deal further. The second floor enjoys three more double bedrooms, two of which face front over the Grove and its mature London plains. The room to the rear has yet more fitted storage, another feature mantel and more of those leafy views.

Central London is easily accessible from here, the city is a 20 minute drive, Denmark Hill station (Zone 2) is a 7 minute walk for regular services to Victoria, London Bridge and Blackfriars. Sainsbury's is only 5 minutes away, and a host of cafés, bars and restaurants are just a short stroll from the front door. Try the Grove Pub, The Vineyard for Greek food or The Castle for a good wine list and food. Good schools are rife around here: Dog Kennel Hill Primary is outstanding, The Villa Nursery and Pre Prep is revered, while The Dulwich Foundation Schools are around 5 minutes by car. East Dulwich is very close and offers some of the best shops in South London including a super deli, organic butchers, boutiques and gift shops plus plenty more places to eat and drink.
