1 bed flat for sale

Southampton Way, London SE5

This delightful one-bedroom ground floor apartment boasts its very own private garden, offering a rare blend of indoor comfort and outdoor space.

Upon entering, you’ll find a convenient storage cupboard in the hallway. The bright and spacious living room welcomes you with ample natural light, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Adjacent to the living room is a well-appointed bathroom featuring a full-sized bathtub with an overhead shower, and access to a small loft space for additional storage.

The L-shaped kitchen is thoughtfully designed with built-in appliances, generous countertop space, and ample cupboards, all overlooking the serene garden. At the rear of the home lies a generously sized double bedroom, beautifully decorated in a popular blush pink and complete with built-in wardrobes. From here, step out into the private rear garden — a sunny retreat with a decked area perfect for relaxing, surrounded by lush greenery that remains low-maintenance.

The home is accessible to the entirety of Central London by foot (around a 1hr walk to the West End and the City, closer to London Bridge), bicycle (20-30 minutes from all of Central London) and bus (many nearby routes leading north to central London and the City within 30 minutes). If you live here and work in central London, you will never need to get on a packed commuter train or tube again. Although if needs be, you can take the train from nearby Denmark Hill, Oval, Peckham Rye and Elephant and Castle when heading a bit further in all directions. These stations are all within walking distance and, in the case of Oval, Elephant and Castle and Peckham Rye, a very quick bus runs nearby.

Despite its central location, the house is set in a green, low density residential neighbourhood with a strong community feel. It is perfectly located just a short walk from Burgess Park, which at 56 hectares is the largest park in Southwark and was not so long ago subject to a £10m improvement programme, creating one of London's best and most varied green spaces with running tracks, tennis courts, bmx track, a lake, BBQ areas and nature walks. It is also close to delightful Brunswick Park, a local park with a cafe and mini art gallery, tennis courts and a large children's play area. Over on Benhill Road you will find a tranquil nature garden, open to all and tended by volunteers from the community. The neighbourhood has to be one of inner London's most green and you will be constantly pleased by the variety of local green spaces.

Highly rated independent restaurants include Theo's (pizza place), Silk Road (authentic Xi'anese food) and the Camberwell Arms (Bib Gourmand Gastropub). Great independent pubs and bars include The Hermits Cave (Camra-listed traditional local), Veraison (wine bar) and The Kerfield Arms (Gastropub with large outdoor seating area). The much hyped Toad Bakery and Cafe Mondo are both a short walk away. Camberwell also has a large Morrison's, a Lidl and a Co-op as well as bike shops and other useful retailers.
Just on Southampton Way, you will find a Tesco and a gym, on your doorstep!

The award-winning South London Gallery is a short walk away along Peckham Road, next door to Camberwell College of Art/University of the Arts London, which gives the area an authentic artistic buzz. Local artists at Vanguard Walk and Clockwork Studios hold regular open days.
