Full Details for 4 Bedroom Semi-Detached for sale in Stockwell, SE5 :
Elegant, spacious and with a sprinkling of well executed contemporary additions, this gracious semi-detached, period delight is sure to win you over. Original stained glass, cornicing, fireplaces and staircase combine with perfectly chosen bespoke fittings and quality fixtures to create a home with a serious wow factor. We’re in love with the splendid top floor master bedroom with en suite and quirky sleeping mezzanine. The beautiful Grove Park Conservation Area (just off Camberwell Grove) is flanked by some staggering Victorian and Edwardian buildings. Leading from Camberwell Grove, it runs down to Chadwick Road, reaching Bellenden Road with all the boutiques and cafés on offer there. The house has been a family home for many decades, has four/five bedrooms, three bathrooms, a huge cellar and impressive kitchen. The atmosphere is welcoming and there are some very nice period touches (like the original roof terrace on the first floor).
A nicely presented front garden with low box hedging and off-street parking leads you to a recessed portico which is fringed with original stucco detail. (Note gated side access to a shared alley which is perfect for bike storing and gardening!). The original door and divine stained glass lead through to a generous and wide hallway. The first of the original cornice work sits overhead and there are dado rails and a handsome staircase (painted white and with runner). The positively vast double reception has doors for creating one or two spaces. The front room enjoys a wide feature fireplace with marble mantel and picture rails separate complimentary wall shades. A wide square front aspect bay frames a beautiful street scope. The rear of the space offers a further feature fireplace yet more cornicing and shelving built into the alcoves. From here you walk through an open arch to find a beautifully designed kitchen/diner of epic proportions. You’ve really got to see it to appreciate it! Spanning the full width of the house it incorporates a large cooking area with six ring gas hob, integrated dishwasher and a run of skylights. The dining area will easily seat the entire family and there’s space left over for a lounging arrangement preceding French doors to the garden. The room links back around to the rear of the hall where you’ll find a handy loo slotted under the stairs and access to the mammoth cellar via a trapdoor.
Heading upward you next meet a large dual aspect study/lounge running open plan on the first return. It has a feature fireplace and access to a cute balcony from where you can fully enjoy the view of the garden. It would be easily converted back into a bedroom should you need to. A shower room with two side aspect frosted sash windows sits next door. A magically proportioned double bedroom fronts the street with more stained glass and another beautiful fireplace - we’re loving the tiling! The second bedroom (also with feature fireplace) faces rear over the garden with picture rails and a large sash window. Another upward trot finds you in the third bedroom, another rear facing double width feature fireplace, shelving and fitted storage. The main bathroom is slick and stylish with two overhead Velux windows and a further side aspect sash (perfect light for applying make-up!) A double inset bath will ensure a fabulous soak after a long day and the retro hand basin is to die for! The final mini ascent delivers you to a jaw-dropping top floor loft space with exposed brick wall, vaulted ceiling and chunky wooden beams – very NYC. There’s a lofty rear facing set of French doors for more garden views and an adjoining en suite shower room. A walk-in wardrobe offers ladder access to a funky sleeping mezzanine.
Camberwell has had more than its fair share of high profiler inhabitants - from John Major to Florence Welch, Erin O Connor and Ian McKellen. Beautiful Bellenden Road is less than ten minutes by foot - cafés, pubs, delis and a book shop make it perfect for a Saturday stroll. Cool Camberwell is fast becoming widely noted for its culinary hot spots - Angel's and Gypsies, The Crooked Well, Camberwell Arms and Silk Road - the list is ever growing. Transport is a cinch (for when your driver is holidaying). The newly arrived London Overground line takes its place on the tube map, providing an outer orbital route around our fair city. Shoreditch, Clapham High Street, Islington and Hoxton all can be accessed 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 overland services to London Bridge and Victoria. The locale is awash with character and abuzz with cafés, 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's Cave, Sun of Camberwell, George Canning and the Storm Bird.
