Camberwell New Road, Camberwell, London, SE5

Large, light and characterful two double bedroom C19th purpose-built mansion flat, with a Freehold-share, its own front door, and access to two courtyard gardens plus a common driveway (visitor parking here).

Measuring in at 860 square feet, the current owners have sensitively renovated the apartment, celebrating the high ceilings and period features. These include sash windows, stripped floors and original fireplaces.

Find your new pad within Hayes Court, 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.

A main front door opens to a gorgeous and wide tiled communal hall. Your own front door is up the stairs on the second floor. To-the-ceiling storage rests to your left. Great for shoes and coats.

There is another built-in hall cupboard opposite the bathroom. The beautifully-tiled windowed bathroom has contemporary sanitaryware and fittings; including an over-bath shower (and separate spray attachment).

The hallway turns right at this point, and first on your left is your roomy reception - of 15 feet by nearly 12 feet. Your big bay window hosts four sash windows, and high skirtings, picture rail and coving detail further impresses.

Next door is your kitchen/dining room, of over 15 feet by nearly 12 feet. Three SW-facing sash windows feature here, plus classic white modern kitchen units.

Two big bedrooms complete the tour. These are pleasingly similar in size (over 11 feet each way). Both have two sash windows and delightful corner feature fireplaces. The bedroom adjoining the hall has a bank of custom-made wardrobes and drawers to its near wall.

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.
