Property description
This beautiful early Victorian home sits at the top end Grove Lane, surrounded by our local delights of Bellenden Road, Lordship Lane and Camberwell Church Street. One of the most attractive features of this house is the deep front garden with high wrought iron railings, gorgeous box hedging and a York stone pathway. The design is by award-winning James Crebbin Bailey - a much sought after topiarist. The location gives you much to get excited about too! Denmark Hill currently whizzes you to Victoria in 12 minutes and has recently gained a much deserved spot on the tube map - the London Overground Line has completed its outer orbital route of our fabulous city and includes Denmark Hill on its journey! The house has a new roof with a 10 year guarantee, a new boiler and has been recently repainted throughout.
When have you ever come across such a wonderful front garden? Past the high wrought iron railings, hedging and up a York stone pathway, you'll notice the house has a signature bow shape to the front, a typical crescent window above the front door and box sashes to the levels above. On the ground floor is a double reception featuring the bow shape to the front with beautiful garden views and original shutters. Delicious European oak parquet flooring runs underfoot and there is new lighting and brushed chrome switches. From here, French doors lead through to a most glorious kitchen/diner which spans the width of the building and stretches a majestic seven metres to two further sets of French doors. Granite worktops sit on the shaker style cabinets and island. The space is kept light and lovely with a huge vaulted ceiling lantern that runs down the right hand side. The garden leads off through either set of French doors and is a pretty space complete with lawn, shrubs and flora.
Back in the hall, before tackling the upper floors, you might be tempted to pick a literary classic from the bookshelves at the rear of the stairs. If you do you'll be pleasantly surprised instead to find a deftly concealed wc hidden behind a beautifully crafted decoy. A climb up the carpeted stairs to the similarly carpeted landing to find the master bedroom taking the front spot and bow window. The bathroom also fronts the street with a fab roll top bath, white suite, plantation shutters and wide panelling to dado rail level. The second and third doubles each face rear with a lovely guest wc in between (with interchanging lights in the basin). One of the doubles is currently a fabulous dressing room worth swooning over. It’s hand-built from Heritage wardrobe company and includes a shoe cupboard, handbag cupboard and full hanging wardrobe – Carrie Bradshaw herself would be impressed! The third bedroom also has a recessed walk-in shower room clad in tasty Travertine tiling. The top floor supplies the fourth bedroom and some low level storage.
Denmark Hill station (Zone 2) offers fast, regular services to Victoria, Blackfriars and London Bridge - it's a 7 minute walk. The highly considered London Overground Line has completed its outer orbital route around London and also serves Denmark Hill. Clapham High Street, Clapham Junction, Islington, Shoreditch and Canary Wharf (via Canada Water) are now all easy as pie. There's even a fancy new ticket hall to boot! There's a veritable plethora of eateries nearby including Angels and Gypsies and the excellent Crooked Well is located behind the property on Grove Lane. The trendy Bellenden Road is only a 10 minute walk away and hosts some fantastic pubs, restaurants and shops. It's fast becoming the new 'place to be'. Camberwell Art School and the Dulwich Foundation schools are all a short drive or bus ride away. Keeping fit? The recently renovated Camberwell Baths is stunning and within a few minutes stroll from your door. Ruskin Park is a short hop and you have Lettsom Gardens and the Butterfly Tennis Club on your doorstep - anyone for Pimms?
