The top floor master suite is of an exceptional standard, with en-suite wet room, dressing area, study space and that jaw-dropping roof terrace with panoramic views over London. It's a truly unique and inspiring city oasis. You'll enjoy some lovely original features throughout (that cornicing!) and there's a handy, tiled storage cellar for vino et al. The well presented rear garden offers yet more R&R opportunities. This area boasts much to be excited about. The nearby Camberwell College of Arts attracts a wonderful creative vibe to the locale. You're within a pleasant stroll of beautiful Bellenden Village and the plucky attractions of Peckham are also nearby. Camberwell and its fab list of culinary and social spots is within easy staggering distance. Transport is another high point, with Peckham Rye supplying numerous swift, frequent services to London Bridge, Elephant and Castle, Clapham and Canada Water for the Jubilee Line.
The house enjoys an end of terrace corner spot which means that you get sun throughout the day in the west-facing garden and the top notch roof terrace. Shenley Road is mature, leafy and perfectly placed. Pristine black cast iron railings invite you down a beautiful tessellated pathway past recently planted hedging. Ornate cornice work fringes the sides and top of the recessed portico and can also be spotted on both storeys of the canted bay window. Inside you'll find more decorative cornicing, high ceilings and some dishy, refurbished wooden flooring. This continues into the front reception room which enjoys a wide bay of double glazed sash windows. Plantation shutters on both upper and lower panes afford privacy and there's a lovely wood burning fireplace with contemporary mantel.
The wonderfully decorative cornicing continues through to the rear section of the reception which has been opened up to create a large family room space. From here, bespoke wooden framed glass doors open to a spectacular kitchen/diner extension which spans the full width of the building to the rear with Italian tiling running from the kitchen into the garden.

The secret garden is located on the D’Eynsford Estate in Camberwell. Located just off Kimpton Road, behind the KFC on Camberwell Church Street. The idea of a Community Garden arose as a way to generate greater community cohesion on the estate and as somewhere to relax and enjoy ourselves, as well as making new friends. The garden is situated on a previously derelict site, between Mary Datchelor Close and Camberwell Church Street. Work began on the garden in March 2009, pulling up the weeds and preparing the soil. The first funding from the O2 Community fund of £1000 built a green house. Then, at the end of 2010 they got £25,000 from the Cleaner, Greener, Safer fund at Southwark Council to completely redevelop the site and make it more attractive and accessible. The work was completed (more or less) by the Walworth Garden Farm in March and April 2010 and then they planted out hundreds of new bushes, flowers and vegetables.
The Secret Garden is currently open Saturdays 11am – 2pm and Sundays 10am – 12noon. Everyone is welcome to enjoy the space or have a go at gardening! There are always jobs to do to suit all ages and abilities.
Lettsom Gardens is a beautiful community garden bordered by Grove Park to the north and Grove Hill Road to the south. It is a popular and private amenity for the communities in both those streets and also more widely amongst Camberwell residents. The residents association host summer barbeques and bonfires there, providing special occasions for adults and children to meet new neighbours. The space is divided between woodland, allotments and a tarmac sports field. You'll be interested to know, Terry Jones lived on the opposite side of Lettsom Gardens for many years. He and the other members of Monty Python developed the scripts for the original series as they played five-a-side football there!
Loved by squirrels, locals on lunch and dog walkers, St Giles Churchyard lies behind the Anglican church between Wilson Road and Camberwell Grove.
Sitting right next to a busy junction, Camberwell Green is a small park that is often overlooked. Until the late 18th century, Camberwell was a rural village. The green used to play host to a rather notorious fair held for the Feast of St Giles. This became an increasingly boisterous affair lasting up to three days, until eventually, in 1856, the more 'well to do' residents put an end to it.
Lying between St Giles and Benhill Roads, it was laid out in the mid-Victorian era and is overlooked by some of the loveliest houses from the period in Camberwell. Popular with locals and staff from Southwark Town Hall, the facilities include free tennis courts and a children's play area.
Myatt's Fields Park, on the border of Southwark and Lambeth, is named after a market gardener called Myatt, reputedly famous for his strawberries. Today it features tennis courts, a bandstand and ball games area, and a new playground sporting a wet play zone (dog-free of course).
