3 bed flat for sale

Hayes Court, Camberwell New Road, Camberwell SE5

What an opportunity! A chain free ‘doer-upper’ three double bedroom mansion flat of 982 square feet, set on the first floor of an attractive C19th purpose-built block. You will enjoy lots of characterful original features (sash windows, period fireplaces, original floors under those carpets and such), a long lease, a designated parking bay and your own front door. Generous shared courtyard areas complete the package.

Delightful Hayes Court is just a seven minute walk from the centre of Camberwell/Camberwell Green, and a 14 minute walk from Oval tube (or grab a quick bus there). And you are well-positioned to enjoy glorious Myatt’s Fields Park with its bandstands, café, tennis courts and impressive floral displays. At its far end is the charming Minet Library, along with local arts hub Longfield Hall.

Shared areas are beautifully-tiled and have been recently (and sensitively) decorated. From the hall, a gorgeous stairwell delivers you to the first floor. In your own front door and to your left and right are two generous double bedrooms: Both are over 12 feet by 11 feet.

A third double bedroom is next on your left, also with the same dimensions (no box rooms here!). To your right is the natural reception room - of over 13 feet by over 11 feet, with twin sash windows and a pleasing southerly orientation (all day sun).

Then at the foot of the hall, a windowed bathroom rests to your left. The kitchen/diner is on your right; this is over 13 feet by nearly 12 feet, again with a favoured southerly aspect.

Camberwell has cute wine bars, good pubs, and nice places to eat and to shop, beyond your handy high street essentials. Check out Caravaggio’s gelateria, Veraison Wines, Little Cellars, Gladwell’s and The Kerfield, plus established spots such as The Camberwell Arms, Hermits Cave, Grove House Tavern and Nandine.

Camberwell Green has a sweet Saturday market, and is where you will also find the town’s library in a smart new building. The leisure centre (with Victorian pool) is also close to you, as is a Puregym, plus private yoga studios.

For more social and leisure options, head north to Oval and Kennington, west to Brixton, or east to Peckham.

Local green spaces beyond Myatt’s Fields include Ruskin, Burgess and Kennington Parks.
