2 bed flat for sale

Edmund Street, Camberwell SE5

Big and bright third floor corner-position modern-build apartment of 741 square feet, owned just once. Your new home has a great layout which delivers two double bedrooms, two bathrooms (one is an en suite), and two private balconies. The building also has leafy grounds, a cool communal roof terrace, and a shared secure bike store. Chain free.

An excellent live-in or let-out home to own, and the location is a strong one. You are super close to Burgess Park (which has seen great investment and has a friendly Saturday parkrun). Walk 5-10 minutes to central Camberwell, or circa 20 to central Peckham.

There is secure entry and you can get upstairs by lift or via the smart communal stairwell. In your own front door on the third floor and directly on your left is a large built-in coat closet. It is straight ahead for the principal bedroom, with the second bedroom next along the corridor. Both bedrooms are roomy doubles (over 11 feet each way), with smart pale carpets. Your largest bedroom has a double-aspect, a modern en suite shower room, and its own nw-facing balcony. Great for afternoon through to evening sun.

Opposite the second bedroom you have the property’s main bathroom. This is a slick white affair, with white sanitaryware and large profile tiling.

At the end of the hall you have your main event: A very large and light open-plan main room, incorporating seating, dining and kitchen spaces. The fitted kitchen units are a timeless style, and the integrated appliances are included in the sale. A large balcony is accessed off the obvious lounge area - and the outlook is lovely, onto Victorian buildings opposite and down onto a lovely communal lawned space, with mature trees and planting.

Your local green space is Burgess Park. A large one at 140 acres, it hosts a lake, tennis courts, cafes, and a large number of listed buildings - remnants of the streets which once occupied the site: An early 19th century lime kiln, the Passmore Edwards library (with local icon: The Camberwell Beauty butterfly mosaic), and former almshouses in Chumleigh Gardens, too.

There are loads of useful bus routes on Southampton Way, Camberwell Road and Camberwell Church Street, to Elephant & Castle or Oval tube stations and beyond.

Out and about? Most locally you have a Puregym and a useful Tesco store. Both of your local town centres have lots on offer including (in SE5) South London Gallery, toad bakery, Forza Win, The Kerfield, Veraison Wines, Little Cellars, Hermits Cave and The Camberwell Arms.

In SE15, check out Bellenden and Choumert Roads, Blenheim Grove and trendiest Rye Lane - with rooftop bars, cinema and great restaurants. Examples are Ganapati, Levan, The Begging Bowl, Artusi and Mr Bao.

Beyond Burgess, you can also stroll to Brunswick Park, Lucas Gardens and Ruskin Park. Myatt’s Fields and Peckham Rye Parks are just a little further.

Local leisure options include a popular Puregym on Southampton Way, Camberwell leisure centre (with Victorian lane pool) on Artichoke Place, and Zen Yoga Studio on Camberwell Grove - next to Butterfly Tennis Club.

For more options, Kennington, Brixton, Herne Hill, Dulwich, New Cross and Deptford are an easy bus ride or cycle.
