Property description
This beautiful and substantial home offers mind-blowing, spacious rooms throughout coupled with wonderful high ceilings and stunning period features - it is bound to please. If that wasn’t enough then a large garden room leads out to a wonderful garden with some well looked after greenery. Settled on the grandiose Grove Park, you are impeccably placed in one of the most prestigious addresses this side of the Thames. Sweeping away from Camberwell Grove, Grove Park circles before dropping down towards the boho Bellenden Road area.
You are led through an enchanting pathway to this incredible period home which is surrounded by shrubbery and set back from the road. As you enter through the front door you are welcomed by beautiful high ceilings with intricate ornate cornicing that can be witnessed throughout the property. Wonderful tiled floors run underfoot and the wooden staircase has been tastefully finished with carpet. There is access to a large cellar - handy for all of your storage/wine needs! The first of the three reception rooms is on the right and stepping inside is like entering another world. The large space takes hold of you immediately along with the feature fireplace and huge front aspect windows sitting in the classic period bay. Back out to the hallway and onto the adjacent room and you will find the second reception room overlooking the rear. Wooden floors match the first reception room as well as a feature fireplace and in addition, there is built in shelving, recessed spotlights and double doors enticing you to the garden room. This space is a welcome addition which is great when used as a dining room and is beautifully lit thanks to the almost glass enclosure in the form of skylights that flood the room with natural light. There are more wooden floors, exposed brickwork and a door off to the left that gives access to a utility room offering plenty of storage space, a wc and sink. Head out to the garden and you are instantly hit by a great decked area and lawn. Need more green space? You are also given exclusive access to Lettsom Gardens, a gated community park in Grove Park, with a playground, allotments and woodland. Head back inside to find the kitchen with refurbished original Victorian built-in dresser and cupboards on one side and upper and lower cupboards on the other. An integrated oven can also be found along with a five ring gas hob and in the centre of the room (perfect space for dining!).
Trot upstairs and into the first bedroom where there is a matching bay identical to the ground floor, a feature fireplace, wooden floors and an en suite bathroom. The bathroom holds a front aspect and side aspect window, bidet, wash hand basin and bath with shower attachment. A quaint shower room neighbours the front bedroom and hosts a tiled floor with tiled feature wall, heated towel rail, wc, wash hand basin with stainless steel chrome mixer taps, shower and recessed spotlights. Two more bedrooms are housed at the rear of the property; both mammoth in proportions and equipped with feature fireplaces, original floorboards and both are accompanied by two rear aspect sash windows. Ascend again to the second floor and you are welcomed by another stunning landing lit by a wonderful skylight. Another bedroom can be found at the front with plenty of storage thanks to the built in wardrobe space. Next door is a bathroom that has plenty of space for a washing machine and tumble dryer, white suite and skylight. Another bedroom sits adjacent to the other and includes more integrated storage, feature fireplace and a rear aspect window that overlooks the garden. Last but not least is another superb multi-purpose room. A rear aspect window and wooden floor finish off the room nicely.
