Garden flats don’t come much better than this elegant Victorian basement conversion in a wide street set back from the busy-ness of Camberwell, but still conveniently close to everything you need. You have your own front door (with a storage area to the left that is ideal for bikes), which opens straight into the recently-carpeted, generously proportioned reception-diner. At over six metres wide, there is ample space here for a dining table, bookshelves and whatever else you need to relax and feel at home. Into the kitchen, you will find a good range of beech effect wall and base units, dark worktops, flagstone effect tiled floor and an integrated halogen hob, oven and extractor hood. At the sink is a deep set, tiled window ledge that is ideal for plants or kitchen herbs. It’s all sleek, shiny black and white tiling in the contemporary bathroom, which has a stylish, white curved sink and WC. The spacious, raised-up, glass screened shower cubicle takes up the whole width of the end section of the bathroom. The master bedroom is an elegant space with its oatmeal carpeting, cream walls, integrated storage cupboards and large sash window overlooking the garden. The flat opens out through the second smaller bedroom – which would also make a good study – onto your own, fenced off, shingle and patio garden lined with established shrubs and a large fuchsia bush. It extends into a pretty, lawned communal garden. From wherever you are sitting, there are great views of tall trees from the neighbouring long gardens of Love Walk, giving a lovely sense of space and tranquillity. It’s an easy 0.3 mile walk to Denmark Hill train station for the ‘ginger’ East London Overground Line (Clapham, Shoreditch, Highbury & Islington and Canada Water for Canary Wharf) and trains that will get you to Victoria in ten minutes. You have plenty of bus connections from here too that will take you across the city and to all the major train stations. Camberwell is home to a great mix of eateries, independent café bars, shops, leisure centre with pool, brand new library and Saturday farmers’ market on Camberwell Green – a multi-million revamp of the area is already underway. As for green space, nearby Ruskin Park is ideal for some downtime with its tennis courts, paddling pool, play area, lake, community gardens, bandstand, café and community events throughout the summer.
