Property description

Calling all handy-Andy’s! Grab your toolbox (and the opportunity) to bring this Victorian terrace back to life. The house has virtually remained untouched for 70 years so does need a fair bit of work, but the potential can be seen everywhere. Noise is reduced as it's a halls adjoining Victorian number and is on one of the most requested roads in the area. Plus there is enough scope to rearrange the layout to suit many different needs and ideas. What a fantastic opportunity! The location easily competes with the property's attractions. Sansom Street supplies a wonderfully peaceful, friendly and residential vibe. As it's a cul-de-sac it's perfect for letting the kids scamper, play and learn to ride their bikes.

The house has a distinctive cottage-feel and opening the door is like stepping back in time. In terms of footprint, there are three reception rooms on the ground floor plus a small kitchen to the very rear. One could easily sacrifice the rear reception to make for a larger kitchen/diner. An outhouse is home to the old outdoor loo but can also be utilised to increase the space inside. A huge side return also offers ample opportunities.

Upstairs is a huge bathroom on the return plus two good sized double bedrooms. A skylight in the hall maximises light and there are some lovely original sash windows too.  Be warned - the house needs an entire make-over and there is no central heating (but that's the fun of it!).

The location 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 local area is a hub of activity with some excellent specialist shops, the recently renovated Camberwell Baths, St Giles Church with its crypt and many great restaurants and bars within easy walking distance. Angels and Gypsies tapas bar is wildly popular and has a swanky cocktail bar downstairs (Communion). The Camberwell Arms is the newest kid on the block and is causing quite the stir - head upstairs from more cocktails. If specialist beers are your thing Stormbird will keep you happy all year round. We love The Bear for some yummy nosh and a pint of black at The Hermits Cave. 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. Plans are afoot for a new library near the magistrates court - it's just a stone's throw from Sansom Street and will further rejuvinate the immediate locale. To top it off Camberwell Green will be totally revamped by next year.
