5 bed terraced house for sale

Shenley Road, Camberwell SE5

Bright and optimised Victorian mid-terrace house on lovely high ground, delivered over three floors. Find five bedrooms (four doubles, one single), three bathrooms, and bright and generous reception spaces - which include a dreamy kitchen/dining room onto your east-facing, low-maintenance city-style garden. You also have a downstairs w.c. And a dedicated utility area.

Your new house is located on an oft-requested, quiet and tree-lined ‘Lyndhurst toast-rack’ street, set between Denmark Hill and Peckham Rye stations (both Fare Zone 2); each reached by foot in 10 minutes. Permit-parking is available on-street.

Your front garden has a built-in timber bike store which can happily house a cargo bike.

Up the tiled path and in your front door and a warm and generous welcome lies in store, with an opened-up double reception room, running over 25 feet and with a cool glazed panel onto your kitchen/diner set at a lower level to the back of the house. This is a notably delightful formal through-room, with engineered oak to the floor, built-in storage (bespoke cupboards and shelving to the alcoved wall), custom-made shutters to the lower panes of your big front bay, and a smart fireplace.

Down a few stairs and you land in your kitchen/diner. A wonderful space for day to day life through to entertaining a throng. This runs 19 feet to forever-on-trend folding doors to the garden. Your fitted kitchen is a timeless modern one with stone counters and integrated appliances. Down a few stairs for your guest loo and plumbed utility area.

Up to the first floor and from the half-landing you have a double bedroom of over 10 feet by nearly 10 feet, with a bay window to garden vistas. Next door is a neat modern bathroom.

From the main landing you have another carpeted double bedroom to your right (this is over 10 feet by nearly 12 feet), then your principal bedroom spans the entire width of the house (it is nearly 14 feet by nearly 16). Custom-made shutters grace all your sash windows in this room.

Your second floor hosts another bedroom (this time a big single which is currently enjoyed as a dressing room - it could equally make a fab home office) and another modern bathroom, then you have a master suite at the top of the house: A large bedroom with a tidy skylit en suite shower room, lots of accessible eaves storage, and a Juliet balcony.
