2 bed flat to rent

Albany Road, London SE5

Property Reference: 2677446.



This bright south facing first-floor apartment overlooks Burgess Park in Camberwell, in a contemporary self-contained development purpose built in 2017.

Designed by London-based practice Emulsion Architecture, the building was completed to a high specification and standard, and has had only one owner who has lived here since purchasing the apartment in 2017, and is now looking to let this beautiful home to the right tenants that will take good care of this as their own home for the next 12 months.

The living area is open plan, with the kitchen along the back wall, inbuilt appliances and good storage. The master bedroom, shower room and separate guest WC are arranged towards the rear of the apartment. A further bedroom or study space is located off the living area, with further access to the balcony. A skylight in the main bathroom lets in large amounts of natural light. There is also a floor-to-ceiling window in the living area slides open to a Juliet balcony letting in the afternoon sunshine. The apartment is accessed from street level and up a single flight of stairs to a communal landing shared with a single other flat above.

The apartment is intended to be let part or unfurnished and particulars can be discussed. Please enquire to organise a viewing.

Green spaces & Local amenities

Albany Road is positioned alongside the north-western perimeter of Burgess Park, a large area of green space which has recently undergone substantial redevelopment. The park has tennis courts, a bmx track, football and cricket pitches, a five-km outdoor running track with weekly park run, and a sports centre with an outdoor and indoor gym. The area, which lies between Camberwell, Bermondsey and Elephant and Castle, is at the centre of some important regeneration with new coffee shops, restaurants and bars.

The immediate area around the apartment has seen the emergence of a number of cafes including Fowlds Cafe and Crol & Co. Bermondsey. Bermondsey Street is within walking distance and has developed a reputation for some excellent restaurants and pubs. The Bermondsey Beer Mile links up a number of craft beer breweries that open their tap rooms to the public on a Saturday. Camberwell, immediately to the south, has become an increasingly popular destination for food and drink with award winning gastro pubs like the Camberwell Arms. Peckham is also a short walk, cycle or bus ride to the south with a bustling scene, and chic green Dulwich and the shops and eateries of Lordship Lane are the next area along.

There is a growing art scene in the area, with galleries like SidMotion hosting new contemporary artists from the area, and other nearby galleries include White Cube on Bermondsey Street and the South London Gallery in Camberwell. The Old Kent Road is exceptionally convenient, playing host to a number of big chain supermarkets and useful hardware shops.

Public Transport

The nearest tube and train station is Elephant and Castle offering overland, Northern and Bakerloo lines, and easily reached by multiple buses in under 10 minutes along the Old Kent Road. London Bridge is less than a 30 minute walk, via the vibrant Bermondsey street. A number of buses run from nearby into central London. The apartment is located next to a tfl Cycle Superhighway for quick access into, and around, town.

The Modern House architecture information

The development consists of an original brick building from the 1950's flanked by two modern extensions; an aluminium mesh-clad two-storey element to the front corner and a charred timber-clad unit on top.

The material palette was inspired by the industrial history and vibrancy of the disused Surrey canal that coursed through what is now Burgess Park. The architect employed an ancient Japanese art of burning timber, known as Shou Sugi Ban (or Yakisugi), that preserves wood by charring it with fire. This unique technique creates a waterproof, extremely durable, and paradoxically fire-resistant material with a rich, deeply textured appearance, its colours ranging from inky black to a silver-grey that shimmers in sunlight.

Internally, the palette, although still industrial, focusses around softer materials like solid Beech high-tech flooring and Carrara marble bathrooms. The kitchen is clad in black Valchromat panels with an eco-friendly paper-based fibre composite worktop called Richlite, and appliances by Samsung. The central heating is controlled by Nest, a thermostatic learning device. The windows are double glazed minimising noise.
