Camberwell New Road, Camberwell, London, SE5

Beautiful third (top) floor mansion flat which has been exquisitely renovated under its current ownership. Delivered over a fabulous footprint of 987 square feet, you have two generous double bedrooms and a home office, a large bathroom, a big bayed reception room, and the smartest of kitchens (with ample space for dining, too) with access to a cute balcony.

Your new wow-factor home rests within an attractive C19th purpose-built block set back from Camberwell New Road (Georgian terraces are very easy on the eye here). Characterful original features are pleasingly in their many (such as sash windows and period fireplaces) and you have a long lease, a designated parking bay, and your own front door. Generous shared courtyard areas complete the package.

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 to get 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 rises to your third floor.

From the neat hall you have your delightful reception room to your right. This is over 15 feet by over 12 feet, with four sash windows to the bay, sisal flooring, a handsome fireplace, and custom shelving and cupboard to the alcove.

Across from the living room you have your luxury oversized bathroom. This is beautifully-appointed and provides a separate walk-in shower alongside the high-end three piece white suite. You also have excellent storage.

Next you have your two notably spacious double bedrooms. Both boast a feature fireplace with lovely tiled cast-iron inserts.

The other wing of the flat is found on your left of the front door. First you have a home office of over 6 feet by over 5 feet. This could also work as a nursery. Next along the hall is a big built-in plumbed laundry cupboard, then you have your eat-in kitchen straight ahead. This is over 13 feet by over 10 feet, with classy custom cabinetry including a pantry. High-end appliances are integrated (these are included in the sale). A wee balcony is set off the kitchen: a nice spot for potted herbs and plants.

Camberwell has cute wine bars, great pubs, and nice places to eat and to shop beyond your handy high street essentials. Check out The Bear, Caravaggio’s gelateria, Veraison Wines, Little Cellars, Gladwell’s and The Kerfield Arms, 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.
