House For Sale £1,325,000
Positioned on Love Walk, a quiet lane in the heart of Camberwell, is this exceptionally bright, three-bedroom 1930s cottage. It has been extended and updated to an exacting design and now measures approximately 1,580 sq ft with private front and back gardens. A garage is also available for purchase by separate negotiation.
The Tour
Nestled behind a characterful 17th-century wall and accessed via an idyllic stone pathway, the cottage sinks beautifully into the surrounding landscape. There is a generous front garden planted with an array of flowering perennials and fruit-bearing trees including apple, pear and plum. The house presents a smart façade to the street, typical of the era, and retains its original front door.
To the right of the entrance hall is a dual-aspect living room that retains much of its period detailing, including an ornate wooden fire surround that encompasses a working gas fire. The room is wonderfully inviting, with original wooden flooring and a large Crittall window that illuminates the space. Walls have been painted in soft cream tones by Farrow & Ball, punctuated with hints of green that create a sense of texture, changing as the light moves throughout the day.
An expansive open-plan kitchen and dining area adjoins the living room. The subject of an exacting renovation and extension by the current owners, this incredibly bright room opens entirely to a south-facing garden, seeking to dissolve the division between inside and out. A series of units in tones of lilac and deep plum provide an abundance of storage, topped with concrete worktops. The dining area is beautifully lit by the full-height triple-glazed doors, as well as from above via a series of skylights. There is also a WC on this level, tucked away under the stairs.
An original staircase leads to the first floor, which contains three bedrooms and a family bathroom. The two spacious double bedrooms have matching bespoke cabinetry; the third bedroom overlooks the gardens below and currently operates as an office. The family bathroom has a large roll-top bath in plum, that chimes beautifully with wood panelling in rose hues and herringbone parquet flooring. The top floor has been converted into a fourth bedroom with an en suite and houses plenty of eaves storage.
Outdoor Space
The south-facing garden has been recently landscaped to combine stone paving with a series of raised beds. The far wall, teeming with greenery, provides a wonderful focal point.
The Area
Camberwell Church Street is close to Love Walk and has an excellent selection of restaurants, cafes and pubs. The Camberwell Arms and Theo’s Pizzeria are particular local favourites. There are also excellent galleries in the vicinity, including the South London Gallery (extended by 6a Architects), Hannah Barry in nearby Peckham and the Dulwich Picture Gallery. The green spaces of Ruskin Park, Warrick Gardens and Peckham Rye are all within easy walking distance.
Denmark Hill station is a short walk away, running direct rail services to Victoria, Blackfriars and St Pancras International, and Overground services to Clapham Junction or Dalston Junction via Canada Water (Jubilee Line). Camberwell is also well served by at least 10 bus routes.
