Delightful Three Bedroom Early Victorian Home with Generous Garden.
Comprising of two reception rooms, three bedrooms, a huge bathroom and charming family room along with a quaint and secluded garden, this house is a real find. It's over two stories (plus handy storage cellar) and located in a mature residential area just a few moments stroll to Camberwell Green. This traditional looking house has a wealth of original features inside mixed with an assortment of unique design ideas that make it stand out from the crowd. There is also the possibility of extending, either into the roof, over the bathroom and/or out into the garden (subject to planning permission). Here you have excellent transport links from Denmark Hill station (Zone 2), about a 10 minute walk, with regular services to Victoria, Blackfriars and London Bridge - all are inside a 15 minute journey time. Loughborough Junction is even nearer, with services to Blackfriars, City Thameslink Luton & King's Cross. Brixton and Oval tubes are also just a short walk or quick bus ride away.
From the exterior, original wrought iron window boxes will entice you inside. Step into the hallway, which has original floorboards, and find two interconnecting reception rooms to your left. A large sash window lets in bags of light and there is a wood burner in the front room and an attractive original fireplace in the rear. There's ample space for dining and lounging. At the rear of the house is the kitchen - bright, spacious and well equipped with plenty of units and worktop space. It leads directly onto a family room (or kid's play area) which in turn leads onto a charming 50ft private garden, with room for alfresco dining, a year-round lawn and even your own apple tree which produces a great crop each year.
Back in the hall, pass access to a huge storage cellar (19' x 9') and take white painted stairs up to the top floor. On the rear landing is a very smart four-piece bathroom with separate shower cubicle, school house style radiator and fitted cupboards for your lotions and potions. A short ascent toward the front of the house and you'll find a bright arrangement on the landing with fitted bookshelves. Two double bedrooms can be found on the left side of the house, both bright and airy with fitted wardrobe/cupboard space. A smaller third bedroom shares the front spot and makes a very cute nursery or home office.Read More

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).
