House For Sale £3,500,000
Supremely Spacious Four/Five Bedroom Period Conversion with Roof Terrace, Garage, OSP and 160ft Garden.
Spread over five exquisite floors, each with high ceilings, huge windows and lofty, leafy views, Damson House sits beautifully in the Camberwell Grove Conservation area. Rising majestically from the open-plan lower ground floor living area is an elegantly curved, bespoke, solid oak staircase - it's effortlessly impressive. Originally built in 1890 as St Johns convent and orchard, the property was expertly converted in 2012 by the RIBA-award-winning John Smart Architects. The contemporary fixtures and fittings throughout are of an opulent quality and include tasteful bathrooms and a fab 'chef's kitchen' with polished concrete flooring! The accommodation comprises a splendid entrance hall, full-length kitchen/diner with adjoining snug, three positively lovely reception rooms, library, four double bedrooms (two ensuite), study/fifth bedroom, two bathrooms, shower room and guest wc. The south-facing 160ft rear garden is perfectly presented with mature plants and shrubs and there's OSP for two cars in addition to a garage. Transport is a cinch (for when your driver is holidaying). Denmark Hill Station supplies countless amazing links. The London Overground provides an excellent outer orbital route around our fair city. Shoreditch, Clapham High Street, Islington and Hoxton all without changing. You can pick it up at both Peckham Rye and Denmark Hill - both less than 10 minute walk. This is in addition to overland services to London Bridge and Victoria.
A long drive leads off the leafy and much-coveted Grove Park. There is space for two SUV's and a Tesla charging point for the eco-minded. The house is accessed to the side of the building where you enter to a most impressive entrance hall. An architecturally sublime bespoke oak staircase sits dead ahead curving seductively up and down. On this floor you find a front-facing study with adjoining shower room. It would make a great fifth bedroom. Facing rear over the patio and garden is the first of your reception rooms, a bright comfortable room with plenty of space for lounging and entertaining. Moving downward to the glorious lower ground floor you find a vast kitchen/diner with adjoining snug. Funky ceiling lights hang low and there's a contemporary wood-burning stove. The garden stretches an almost unbelievable 160ft boasting a paved patio, healthy lawn and an array of fruit bearing trees including apple, damson, pear and fig.
Heading up your picture-perfect solid oak staircase you find twin reception spaces running the full length of the property with a wonderful floor-to-ceiling library running in between. French doors to the rear frame more garden views and there's a multi-fuel stove for winter warming. A wide front aspect bay window supplies a leafy streetscape making it a fine work-from-home option. Upward to the second floor you find a boastful master suite with dressing room and large bathroom. A second double bedroom peers front with an adjoining ensuite shower room. The third floor supplies two gorgeous double bedrooms, each with charming eaves and lofty views. A family bathroom sits in between to the two rooms. The final climb rewards you with a magical roof terrace from whence you enjoy a magical panorama in all directions. It's accessed through an electric retractable glass roof that affords the upper landing tonnes of light.
Beautiful Bellenden Road is less than five minutes by foot - cafes, pubs, deli's and a book shop make it perfect for a Saturday stroll. Lettsom Gardens is a few moment's ramble too for wonderful leafy spaces. Cool Camberwell is fast becoming widely noted for its culinary hot spots - The Crooked Well, Silk Road and some yummy pizza at Theo's - the list is ever growing. Transport is a cinch (for when your driver is holidaying). The London Overground provides an excellent outer orbital route around our fair city. Shoreditch, Clapham High Street, Islington and Hoxton all without changing. You can pick it up at both Peckham Rye and Denmark Hill - both less than 10 minutes' walk. This is in addition to over land services to London Bridge and Victoria. The locale is awash with character and abuzz with cafes, restaurants, art, culture and personality. The nearby Camberwell College of Art ensures a flood of arty types. The South London gallery offers a great spot to nose around. Pubs abound nearby - we love the Hermit Cave, Sun of Camberwell, George Canning, Crooked Well and the Storm Bird.
