The red brick exterior is handsome and substantial with a double storey canted bay window. A fitting porch with glass roof and tiled floor encourages you inward. The door straight ahead leads to the garden room which in turn brings you to the 90ft rear garden. Here you find a patio, lawn and a spacious and a fully serviced garden studio. This offers a blank canvas for anyone needing a roomy
office, workshop or additional storage.

Heading back inside and starting at the front of the house you'll meet with the first of the grand reception rooms which dips into the front bay of sash windows. The original black marble fireplace stands proudly on the left wall. A glance upward reveals a massive, original and beautifully maintained ceiling rose and matching ornate cornicing. Further down the hall you'll find a further hugely versatile room which shares the front aspect. Enjoying its own private entrance, wet room style shower room and kitchenette, the space is ideal as a teenage hideaway.

Moving to the other side of the hall you'll discover the nicely proportioned kitchen/diner. There's enough space to feed the in-laws and room left for a comfortable L shaped seating arrangement. The paved patio promises the perfect party venue curving into a bow shape before leading to the lawn. Fringed on either side with an abundant and aromatic array of mature plants, flowers and shrubs. Continuing to the rear you'll find another meandering lawn and that spacious and fully serviced garden office.

Back in the kitchen you'll gain access to another reception which frames a garden vista through its wide bay window. More lovely cornicing and a marble mantel maintain the tone nicely. A guest w.c and access to the capacious head height cellar complete this section of the tour. Heading up the original staircase (with curling banister) you'll find a further guest w.c and separate shower room with marble tiling, double walk-in shower and stand alone inset wash hand basin.

A front-facing double bedroom with sunny disposition and feature mantel comes next in line. Four further steps lead to a further impressive slumber spot with cornicing and idyllic front facing bay. On the other side of landing there lies the master suite. Facing over the garden, you'll enjoy an imposing fireplace and cornicing. The second floor rewards your efforts with two further double bedrooms - one facing front and one to the rear - each with bright leafy appointments. Both rooms have sleeping mezzanines.

Oval tube (Northern Line) is an easy 9 minute walk. You can also grab one of the many buses that whip past (a trip to Victoria will take about 20 minutes on the bus from here).All the facilities of Camberwell Green are close by, including Theo’s Pizzeria for yummy eats and treats.
