2 bed flat for sale

Linwood Close, Camberwell SE5

Large and light second floor two bedroom double-glazed apartment delivered over 678 square feet, with a Freehold-share and a designated parking bay. A generous loft area is also accessed from the flat, so you have excellent storage. Chain free.

Your delightful new pad is located within a low-rise purpose-built private development, which is set in well-established and well-tended communal grounds (in a super cute cul de sac setting, off glorious Grove Park); these even boast a mature woodland and a communal BBQ area.

Stations? Peckham Rye and Denmark Hill (both Fare Zone 2) are your closest. Walk just 10 and 12 minutes to these, for regular and London Overground Windrush line services.

There is secure entry via a main front door on the ground floor (communal areas are notably well-kept and cleaned and vacuumed regularly). Take the stairs and you’ll find your own front door on the second floor.

From your own entrance hall (noting a useful built-in cupboard), double doors open to your right to reveal your big reception room with large bay window, and plenty of space to designate seating, dining and work from home areas. Your independent kitchen is set off this space, with modern fitted wall and base units and wooden worktops.

Your two bedrooms - both a good size - rest opposite the front door. A neat bathroom with simple white suite completes our tour.

What a winning spot! You are near to both Camberwell Grove and Holly Grove Conservation Areas, within prime Camberwell/Peckham Rye borderland - giving you easy access to both town centres and their respective green spaces. East Dulwich is also but a short stroll.

You are supremely well-connected for work, leisure and social pursuits. London Bridge, London Victoria, Clapham Junction, Kings Cross St Pancras and Canary Wharf (via Canada Water) - among other destinations - are all quickly reached.

Bellenden Road is yours by foot in six minutes, with fabulous eateries such as Artusi, The Begging Bowl and Ganapati, and popular independent shops such as Flock & Herd, The General Store and Review. Petitou on Choumert Road is a popular spot for a coffee and people-watching.

Rye Lane offers more high street and market shopping options, plus the trendiest of hangouts - such as Peckham Levels and The Bussey Building. Go vertical in the warm months for rooftop bars here. And Peckham Plex cinema is a local institution with films for £5.99.

Central Camberwell is a 12 minute walk - down beautiful Camberwell Grove - flanked with mature London plane trees and dreamy Georgian houses. Here we love Theo’s, The Kerfield, The Camberwell Arms, Veraison Wines, Little Cellars, Nandine, Falafel and Silk Road especially.

Camberwell leisure centre is also local - with a smart Victorian pool, gym facilities and group classes. Or pop down to Butterfly Tennis Club or Zen Yoga (both even closer, at the foot of Camberwell Grove).

Lettsom Gardens is popular with locals, as is Warwick Gardens. Ruskin, Brunswick, Peckham Rye and Burgess Parks are all fairly close too, plus Lucas Gardens and St. Giles Churchyard (The Crypt under the church hosts cool jazz nights).

A large Sainsbury’s store is close by on Dog Kennel Hill, by Dulwich Hamlet Football Club. And there is a strong M&S Food Hall by East Dulwich Station.
