1 bed flat for sale

Bushey Hill Road, Camberwell SE5

Properly lovely one double bedroom ground floor Victorian conversion flat with Freehold-share, within a handsome semi of just three flats. There is pp in place to convert to a two bedroom flat (as many neighbouring properties have done).

Your new home is approximately 556 square feet and is blessed with a private and walled sw-facing garden; direct access to which is from both the eat-in kitchen and the bedroom.

The location is a quiet tree-lined residential ‘Lyndhurst toast-rack’ street on high ground near Warwick Gardens, between Peckham Rye and Denmark Hill Stations (eight and 11 minutes by foot respectively), and the cool town centres of Peckham and Camberwell. Enjoy what both have to offer. Bellenden Road is your most local high street area.

There is a neat shared hall then you take a left into your own hall. To the front of the property you have your bay-windowed reception room of over 14 feet by over 11 feet. Welcome room features include stripped floorboards, custom-made shutters to the windows, high ceilings, alcove shelving, and an attractive (working) central fireplace with marble surround.

Adjacent is the double bedroom, with a to-the-ceiling built-in closet and a glazed door onto the side return area of the garden.

Your windowed bathroom is next along the hall, with good built-in storage for towels and toiletries, neat white sanitaryware, an over bath shower, and a cool reclaimed old school style radiator.

At the end of the hall (passing your cellar door to your right; a handy storage space for suitcases and such), find your super charming eat-in kitchen of over 12 feet by over 10 feet, with T&G cladding. A lovely space to entertain. Shaker style units and open-shelves sit on one wall, teamed with a solid wood counter, brick-style tiling, and a ceramic Butler sink. Sliding double-glazed doors deliver you to the cute and sunny shingled ‘city’ garden which has a raised bed at the foot.

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.

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.
