Camberwell New Road, Camberwell, SE5

Beautiful Listed Georgian Townhouse with South Facing Garden and Basement.

These fine homes are very striking from the outside, featuring typical Georgian window boxes, an arched sash window on the ground floor and tall windows on the first floor. Inside you ll find the symmetry and proportion commonly seen in houses of this era. Lounging over four floors, this example has a huge basement (with any number of uses), two reception rooms, a huge kitchen/diner, three bedrooms, lavish bathroom, shower room and a south-facing garden. Located on Camberwell New Road, this spot offers a fantastic location just a short commute from the City. In addition to the endless social attractions of Camberwell the property is just 100m away from the new Arches development that includes coffee shops and a micro brewery! The much-loved Bear pub is currently being refurbished too!

Iron railings greet you from the street and lead you to an original front door with elegant knocker. Inside the entrance hall you will find rich, stained timber flooring and high skirting boards. Two receptions sit to your right, both are accessible via the hall. Double doors in the centre open up the space and there is intricate cornicing circling overhead. There are two period fireplaces, more wooden floors and beautiful French doors with wooden shutters leading out to the garden. At the end of the hall is a big kitchen/diner stretching over 22 feet. The worktops are sleek and run along the left hand side, with integrated appliances and space for a dining table at the far end. The space is flooded with light thanks to two Velux windows, a side aspect window and bi-folding doors onto the garden. A nifty shower room completes the ground floor. The garden is a fair size, but it s the aspect that will really impress you. It faces south/south-west and has a fab seating area, spot for a BBQ and bright, white-painted brickwork.Head up the stairs, passing a bright window on the landing to find two huge double bedrooms. The master is placed over the front of the house and has a period fireplace and two floor-to-ceiling sash windows. The second bedroom, a big double, has a peaceful garden vista. The second floor is home to a third bedroom, again across the front of the house with a run of fitted cupboards. Taking the rear of this floor is a lavish bathroom with a free-standing tub, walk-in shower, period style loo and plantation shutters to the window.You can walk to the Oval tube (Northern line) in 9 minutes or grab one of the many buses close by (a trip to Victoria will take about 20 minutes on the bus from here). All the facilities of Camberwell Green are close by, including some yummy tapas at Angels and Gypsies, a pint at the Hermit's Cave and the very lovely Camberwell Baths for a relaxing swim in a good old fashioned pool. Kennington Park is just up the road with its open spaces and tennis courts. Even closer is Myatt's Fields with kids playground and tennis courts. And if you like cricket then don your panama and take a hamper up to the Oval!Tenure: FreeholdCouncil Tax Band: E
