5 bed terraced house for sale

Bushey Hill Road, Camberwell SE5

Large, light and oh so lovely bay-fronted five bed, three bath Victorian house delivered over three floors and circa 1850 square feet (excluding the handy cellar). The cherry on top is a walled and low-maintenance west-facing ‘city’ garden (complete with outhouse with plumbing and electricity).

The pleasing setting is a quiet, tree-lined ‘Lyndhurst toast-rack’ street near The Villa Nursery (popular state primaries are The Belham and Lyndhurst), located between Peckham Rye and Denmark Hill station (walk to these in 10 and 13 minutes respectively), and Camberwell and Peckham’s town centres. Enjoy what both have to offer, plus excellent bus connections from nearby Peckham Road at the foot of your road.

From your wide and welcoming high-ceilinged hall, your formal receptions rest to your right. Your front room is over 14 feet by nearly 13 feet, with an attractive central fireplace and custom-made shutters to the big bay window. Enjoy picture rail and ceiling rose detailing here (and this features plus ornate coving next door). The second reception - the natural dining room - is nearly 15 feet by nearly 12 feet, with alcove shelving, and double-glazed French doors out to the garden.

A rectangular serving slot gives you a sneaky peek of the kitchen. Access this by feet rather than arm from the hall (noting a neat downstairs/guest w.c. En route). With smart modern white fitted wall and base units and a cute feature fireplace, it is over 11 feet by over 9 feet, and leads onto additional kitchen space which opens out to the garden via a second set of double-glazed French doors.

Your first floor hosts three good double bedrooms, a windowed shower room, and the property’s main bathroom. The first bedroom is over 11 feet by nearly 10 feet, set at the back of the house. Then you have two much larger doubles to front and back (of over 14 feet by nearly 13 feet, and 14 feet by nearly 12 feet respectively). The bathroom has a modern white suite with under-basin storage and large profile wall tiles.

Heading upstairs, find bedroom four (this one is over 11 feet by nearly 10 feet). These four bedrooms all have sash windows.

Completing the tour at the top of the house is a delightful master-suite, of over 12 feet by over 10 feet, with a modern skylit shower room and a generous and windowed walk-in wardrobe.

A great house and a great spot to boot. 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, 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.
