Stylishly Extended Three Bedroom Period Home With Fantastic Garden.

Such a tasteful and ingenious use of space and light! This fabulous three bedroom Victorian home uses every inch cleverly to supply a generous layout, comfortable lounging, dining and entertaining spaces and well proportioned double bedrooms. The accommodation comprises three lovely bedrooms (one en suite), a large front-facing reception, huge L shaped contempory living/dining/kitchen with impressive side return extension and a modern bathroom. The rear garden is drop dead gorgeous and awash with expertly chosen shrubs and planters. There's some lovely cedar cladding, period features and thoughtful architectural touches throughout. Sansom Street enjoys a mature, leafy and friendly vibe. You're mere minutes from Brunswick Park with its tennis courts, coffee and art gallery. The location also allows easy access to the City and West End from a multitude of buses travelling along the main road. Alternatively take a 15 minute stroll up to Denmark Hill station where, in addition to the London Overground line, you can pick up fast, direct and regular services to Victoria, London Bridge and Blackfriars.

The house impresses from first glimpse with smart London stock brickwork, high hedging and a handsome period door with lion knocker. Inward to the inner hall you find fab wooden floors, original cornicing and pastel shades. The first reception sits to the left and boasts a wide bay of original sash windows. Louvered blinds on the lower panes ensure privacy for your Netflix marathons and there's low level storage units under a wide solid oak counter - perfect for the flat screen.

The hall widens considerably at the foot of the original staircase where double opaque glass doors leads to a second seating area. Recessed lighting running along the original cornicing supplies a funky contemporary vibe and there's a super sweet original feature fireplace with matching mantel. Dainty period storage and an oblong stainless steel radiator complete the space. An open arch leads from here to your gorgeously airy kitchen/diner which sits under a flood of light from four vaulted glazed panels and oak framed glazed end wall with double oak patio doors.

The space runs to the full width of the house with oodles of counter space, a breakfast bar and formal dining area. Appliances include a fancy five ring gas hob, super wide SMEG oven and dishwasher. There's space for a wide American-style fridge/freezer and washing machine preceding the bathroom. This boasts modern tiling and suite, bath, walk-in shower and heated towel rail. A further under-stairs cupboard will house a laundry cupboard. Upward you meet the first of your bedrooms on the rear return. Currently used as a study it has a wc, shower and garden views. The largest of the bedrooms fronts the street through two sash windows. More cornicing and another beautiful feature fireplace. The third bedroom, another lovely double, has original fitted storage, garden views and a peaceful vibe. With plans consented through a lawful development consent, the existing fixed ladder access to the generous loft is ready for conversion to another lovely double bedroom.

The local area is a hub of activity with some excellent specialist shops, the Camberwell Baths, St Giles Church and many great restaurants and bars within easy walking distance. The Camberwell Arms is a fab spot for a roast - head upstairs from more cocktails. If specialist beers are your thing Stormbird will keep you happy all year round. We love a pint of black at The Hermits Cave and The Tiger. Brunswick Park is a matter of seconds away for relaxing or a spot of exercise or a game of tennis. Ruskin Park is easily reached too for more leafy fun.
