1 bed flat for sale

Bushey Hill Road, Camberwell SE5

Bright and delightful one bedroom Victorian conversion flat with timber-framed double-glazed windows, set on the first floor of a handsome Victorian semi-detached house.

It rests at the top/southerly end of one of the long, leafy, desirable streets which make up the ‘Lyndhurst toast-rack’, pleasingly close to Warwick Gardens. Bushey Hill Road developed over its own history as a ‘show street’ of varying architectural styles, where one could choose a style of home to be built.

Peckham Rye Station is your closest one - just eight minutes on foot. Denmark Hill Station isn’t much further - 10 minutes. Both offer regular rail and Windrush line services. Bellenden Road is your local high street area, and the town centres of Camberwell and Peckham are both close for an impressive range of places to eat, drink, and things to do. Bus travel is also easy from the foot of the hill. For drivers, permit-parking is on-street.

A neat communal hall is a warm welcome, and there is a generous shared storage room for bikes and bigger items. Take the stairs to your own front door at first floor level. On entry to your right is a built-in coat closet, and straight ahead you have your wide galley-kitchen in on-trend ply with open-shelf detail, too. Stripped floors and a sash window (to leafy street vistas) further feature.

Next door is your reception room/lounge, of over 12 feet by nearly 10 feet. Like next door you are facing east so the room gets fabulous morning sun.

To the back of the flat you have your sash-windowed double bedroom of over 12 feet by nearly nine feet, and a beautiful freshly-renovated bathroom with over-bath shower, metro-tiling and thoughtful storage.

Your most local nursery school is The Villa, just at the top of the street. Local primary provision includes The Belham and Lyndhurst schools (3-11).

You are close to two excellent Zone 2 stations. Both offer regular and Windrush line services. There are also plenty of useful bus routes from Peckham Road, just down the hill, including the 436 (Paddington and Victoria), the 12 (Oxford Circus) and the 171 (Holborn).

Really locally, toad bakery is totally worth its queue, opposite South London Gallery. Your local green spaces include Warwick, Lucas and Lettsom Gardens, Peckham Rye Park and Common’s 113 acres, and Brunswick, Burgess and Ruskin parks.

Local eating and drinking establishments we would point you in the direction of include Cafe Mondo, Theo's, The Camberwell Arms, The Kerfield Arms, Veraison Wines and Little Cellars (SE5) and Mr Bao, Peckham Bazaar, The Montpelier, Pizza Nerds, Ganapati, Lai Rai, The Begging Bowl, Artusi and Hausu (SE15).

In the warm months of light and long days, Rye Lane’s rooftop bars are the go-to destination for cocktails and people-watching. Rye Lane is also where you will find Peckham Plex Cinema (£5.99 films!), The Bussey Building and Peckham Levels.
