Camberwell Grove, Camberwell SE5

Exquisite Double-Fronted Detached Georgian Four Bedroom Home With Parking - chain free.

A truly sublime double-fronted period home on one of London's premiere streets! Boasting a leafy and commanding spot, this four bedroom Georgian dream, built circa 1820, boasts the perfect mix of original charm and sympathetic modern convenience. The property is spread over two and a half floors to comprise three reception rooms; a contemporary kitchen/diner, four double bedrooms, study/utility, bathroom, shower room, downstairs toilet and a super handy storage space. Original features include fireplaces, arched sash windows with stained glass, shutters and some gorgeous cornicing. The rear south-west facing garden is a real delight in spring and summer with a fragrant array of shrubs, flowers and mature leafiness. A handy off-street parking bay will impress and you're within a moment's tree lined ramble of the best of Camberwell - bars, eateries and bountiful London bustle. Nearby green spaces include the charming Brunswick Park with its tennis courts, gallery and cafe. Even closer is St Giles Church grounds - it's a lovely spot for a read of the paper. Transport links are equally impressive with Denmark Hill an easy 8 minute stroll. It boasts unbeatable connections to Victoria, Blackfriars, Elephant & Castle and the London Overground Line will whizz you to Shoreditch and also Canada Water for the Jubilee Line.

Regal black railings and a matching gate invite you off the Grove to find symmetrical gravel beds to left and right. Wide steps lead up to your original door (with original black knocker set). The ornate arched fanlight bears the house's number. The inner hall is tasteful and elegant with beautifully finished wooden floors and original corbels. From here you can appreciate the symmetry and width unique to double-fronted homes! To your right sits a dual aspect reception with high ceilings, original cornicing and a most charming arched sash window with yellow stained glass trim. This frames a leafy streetscape, while the rear window peers over your rear garden. The original fireplace finishes the space nicely. On the far side of the hall you meet a further reception with more delightful period streetscape views and dulcet wall tones. Both rooms enjoy integrated art lighting which present your works at their very best.

Down three steps from the rear of the hall you find patio access next to the most inviting contemporary kitchen with dishy cabinets and counters and a full range of integrated appliances. From here, a wide opening leads to your dining room. There's more integrated lighting for mood setting and french doors which open to the patio. Outside you enjoy plenty of space for comfortable sun-lounging. You'll find access to the off-street parking bay and a healthy wrap-around lawn which is complimented by a wealth of flora and shrubs. There's another sunny al-fresco dining spot neatly tucked to the rear.

Back inside, head downward from the rear return to find a rear-facing study which doubles as a laundry room. A large storage crawl space on the lower landing will house any amount of vino and there's a handy downstairs loo completing this level. Heading upward from the main hall, via an original staircase with curling hard wood banister, reveals the first double bedroom - a beautiful rear-facing double. A super swanky shower room with loo and picture-perfect finish completes this level. Upward again you find your dual aspect master bedroom with both garden and Grove views. A further front aspect double bedroom sits the far side of the landing with another imposing original feature fireplace. A suitably handsome bathroom sits in between with more leafy street views. Your fourth and final bedroom, a bright and side-aspect double, sits up a final half flight, enjoying a wall of fitted storage.
