3 bed flat for sale

Southampton Way, Camberwell SE5

Big and bright and immaculately-presented three double bedroom (second floor) apartment which is just shy of 1000 square feet. Two sunny south-facing balconies complete the sleek package.

The property has been owned just once from new. It is an excellent live-in or let-out home to own, and the location is a strong one. You are close to Burgess Park (which has seen huge investment).

Walk just 5-10 minutes to central Camberwell, or circa 20 to central Peckham.

In your own front door and to your right are three generous built-in storage cupboards. On your left is a neat w.c.

Next on your left is an awesome main room of over 22 feet by over 14 feet - incorporating kitchen, dining and reception areas, and opening onto a cute and sunny balcony. Smart fitted modern units seriously impress.

Three good double bedrooms follow (of over 10 feet by over 9 feet, over 12 feet by over 10 feet and over 12 feet by over 10 feet), all with south-facing windows and the final with its own private balcony. Windows in all are pleasingly floor to ceiling - maximising the 1st place orientation! The middle bedroom has a bank of custom-made closets.

Finally, you have a smart modern bathroom with large profile tiles.

Your local green space is Burgess Park; impressing 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. You can walk to Denmark Hill Station in 20 minutes.

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, 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, Miss Tapas 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 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.
