Astoundingly Charming Two Bedroom Period Cottage with Cracking Garden

You're not going to want to leave after your first viewing! This fairytale period fancy, built during the brief reign of William IV, effortlessly delivers a cozy yet cleverly arranged living space. Farrow and Ball wall shades, narrow gauge oak flooring and period features make for a tasteful, stylish vibe and its all topped and tailed with pretty gardens at either end.

A picket fence presented in 'Green Smoke' invites you from the street through a secluded front space which is fringed with high mature hedging. In through the door (which bears the same regal colouring) and you'll meet with the irresistible open plan living space. Stretching the full length of the house it affords a glimpse as far as the kitchen and is unmistakably bright and inviting. The lounging area offers an original working period fireplace, built in recessed shelving and an aspect to both front and rear. Beyond the pretty staircase you have a hop skip and jump to a fab dining area. Decorated in 'Vert de Terre' and 'James White' the space is magically bright thanks to side aspect French doors which lead to the paved patio. Dainty yet abundant storage units flank the seating area and there's further storage concealed within the fitted bench.

Textured slate floor tiles continue to the adjoining kitchen which enjoys plenty of counter and cooking space, four ring gas hob and contemporary cabinets. A fabulously wide door with mottled lead detail glass leads to the garden where lies a wealth of mature plants and shrubs. This heavenly haven hosts a rose arbor and pretty arch that’s crowned with clematis and rose bushes. A lead covered outside utility cupboard cleverly conceals space for a washing machine,freezer and more storage back near the side doorway.

The first floor landing is dazzlingly bright with crisp white walls, light coloured carpet, white painted banister and large overhead Velux. The larger of the two double bedroom fronts the street. The twin sash windows are soon to be replaced with brand spanking new wooden framed double glazed replicas affording welcome heat retention. There's plenty of space for a large double bed, storage and a seating arrangement. A second bedroom faces rear over the garden with yet more storage and a perfectly wonderful airy atmosphere. A well equipped bathroom rests on the return and enjoys a gleaming white suite, inset bath, shower, heated towel rail and further over head skylight.

Good bus services nearby go in all directions to and from central London and link up with the tube at Elephant & Castle (Bakerloo Line). There are plenty of funky bars and foodie places a short walk away at Camberwell Green and the sweeping green spaces of Burgess Park are right beside you - as well as the lake, you have tearooms in Chumleigh Gardens. Brunswick Park (an 8 minute walk) has tennis courts.
